Grand Ol Opry Saved In Flood; Appreciating our national treasures

The circle of wood from the legendary Grand Ol' Opry stage that has survived the Nashville floods.

"We've taken it up and are taking it out for some TLC so it will be fine," Steve Buchanan, president of the Grand Ole Opry group tells PEOPLE. "We have it sequestered for special attention and then it will be back in place."

The stage has seen stars from Pasty Cline to Carrie Underwood, the past and present grace its stage.  They have already started on repairs.  The stage will not be open for months, but shows will be played in different venues around town.
