The Johnny Cash Museum







The Johnny Cash Museum was our goal for the second morning. We came here just after leaving the Stamp event at the Ryman. This museum just opened in April. It was a small museum but very well organized and should be on your list of things to do if you end up in Nashville. It covered every aspect of J.R.'s life from growing up in Arkansas through the Air Force years and his country music career. They even showed a short movie highlighting his movie and television appearances. His 1961 movie "Five Minutes to Live", his role as John Brown in "North and South", appearing as a coyote on "The Simpson's" and hosting "Saturday Night Live" in 1982. The House of Cash was the Johnny Cash Museum in Hendersonville, Tennessee. The stone wall to the left was excavated from the ruins of the Johnny and June's former house in Hendersonville.
