House of Cash

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The House of Cash was a museum in Hendersonville, Tennessee, devoted to the life and work of Johnny Cash.[1] It was located at 700 East Main Street (now known as Johnny Cash Parkway), and is closed. The museum fell into disrepair toward the end of Cash's life, when it was featured extensively in the music video for Cash's version of the song "Hurt" in 2002.[2]

Cash did have offices at the museum, but did not live there. He and his wife lived at nearby 200 Caudill Drive in Hendersonville which was Cash's home from 1968 until his death in 2003.[3]After Cash's death the house was sold to fellow musician Barry Gibb, but it burned down during renovations in 2007.[4][5]

A new, unrelated Johnny Cash Museum was opened in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2013.[6]
