The Johnny Cash Museum Is A Must See Spot In Nashville

July 5, 2018 by Kelly 13 Comments

I was given complimentary tickets, but all opinions are mine. Johnny Cash is one of the most iconic musicians to ever come out of the Nashville music scene. And The Johnny Cash Museum dedicated to him is a one of a kind. The Johnny Cash Museum in Nashville was voted the best museum for a single musician by National Geographic.

If you are a music fan, you probably love Johnny Cash. If you are ever in Tennessee, be sure to visit The Johnny Cash Museum Is A Must See Spot In Nashville

Forbes magazine said The Johnny Cash Museum was the number one must-see spot in Nashville. The museum is home to the handwritten manuscript for the last song Johnny Cash ever wrote. Also, it takes a deep look into his life beyond his music career. My sister and I visited the museum on a girls trip to Nashville. It was an experience we will not soon forget!

When you first enter the Johnny Cash museum, you will see mementos from his childhood, his service in the United States Air Force and his music career. You’ll also be able to see a massive display of memorabilia from throughout Johnny Cash’s career. The museum is the best way to get to know the life of the man in black. I was mesmerized by seeing his clothing, awards, family heirlooms and a peek into the life he had with June Carter Cash.

While you’re there you can see the museum of another country music icon just upstairs. Earlier this year a museum to Patsy Cline opened just upstairs from the Johnny Cash Museum. The two museums offer a unique look into the golden years of country music by looking at two of its biggest stars. Together the two make a fantastic day out for anyone in Nashville.

    My husband and I travel with other couples and love destination trips. He would love this museum and I think I would also. We have not been to Nashville yet and I think it would be a fun trip. We’ll definitely add this to our list of places to see soon. Thanks for the review.
