Description

Johnny Cash (1932-2003) was born on a cotton farm in Kingsland, Arkansas. An actor, author, guitarist, and singer-songwriter, Cash performed rockabilly, blues, gospel, folk, and rock and roll. His most popular hits include "I Walk the Line," "Man in Black," and "Ring of Fire." Cash married singer-songwriter and member of the Carter Family June Carter (1929-2003). Cash died in 2003 just four months after her passing. The Johnny Cash Museum features many artifacts and memorabilia from Cash’s life and career, including some from the artist’s former home in Hendersonville, Tennessee as well as from the former Hendersonville museum House of Cash. Cash’s friends Shannon and Bill Miller opted to open a new museum in downtown Nashville in 2013 after House of Cash fell into disrepair.
