There have been many singers that have touched us in very unique ways. Perhaps we have heard their songs from the time that we were young and they had special meanings for us. One of the singers that have had such an effect on many people is Johnny Cash. During the time that he was alive and performing, he was loved by millions of people around the world.

If you of love the music of Johnny Cash and wanted to learn a little bit more about him, you now have the opportunity to do so. The Storytellers Museum and Cash Hideaway Farm in Bon Aqua, Tenn. provides exactly what you need. Johnny Cash himself called the land a sanctuary and in 2016, it was restored and opened to the public. It’s the perfect getaway for anyone who is a Johnny Cash fan.

The property was originally purchased by Johnny Cash in the 1970s. It is a 107-acre farm and he fell in love with it. He started holding weekly concerts at the general store nearby, known as “Saturday Night in Hickman County.” The locals loved the weekly shows, considering that many of them couldn’t pay to go to the bigger concerts in Nashville.

For more than 30 years, Cash spent time on the farm but in 2015, it was in need of serious repair. The land was purchased by fans of Cash, Brian and Sally Oxley for $895,000. They even purchased the general store where he would hold his weekly concerts and began converting it into a recording studio. They worked closely with the Cash family, including his daughter, Cindy Cash so that the museum could be established.

This museum is located between Memphis and Nashville. It has already attracted a number of country music icons, including Marty Stewart.
