What parents say
"For fans of the original “Dukes Of Hazzard” TV Show (1979-1985) there is a really neat museum and gift shop called “Cooters” in Nashville Tennessee. They also have two other locations, but this one is the largest. The shop is made up of historic items both from the show set itself, but also the endless amount of officially licensed items and collectibles that were produced in the height of the shows popularity. There is also a replica of the General Lee, Cooters Tow Truck, Daisy’s Jeep and the Police Car! I even noticed a bunch of Dukes of Hazzard Ducks and got a “Daisy Duke Duck” to give awa"

"If you were a Dukes of Hazard fan growing up then this place is pretty cool to see. Cooter wasn't there the day we went and that would've been the only downfall. Great selection of merchandise to choose from."
