In 1979 , Opryland opened the Roy Acuff Theatre , which was dedicated in Acuff 's honor ( it was demolished in 2011 after suffering extensive damage in the 2010 Tennessee floods ) . Dunbar Cave State Natural Area was established in 1973 from a recreational area the state had purchased from Mrs. McKay King . The cave was owned by Acuff from 1948 to 1963 . Two museums have been named in Acuff 's honor — the Roy Acuff Museum at Opryland ( now closed ) and the Roy Acuff Union Museum and Library in his hometown of Maynardville . Acuff has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame located at 1541 Vine Street . He is pictured with other country singers at the new Smoky Mountain Opera in Pigeon Forge , Tennessee
