The Ralph Stanley Museum
ABOUT THE MUSEUM
The Ralph Stanley Museum & Traditional Mountain Music Center provides a truly unique, interactive experience. Visitors can see and hear traditional American mountain music in its original setting - the beautiful mountains of southwestern Virginia.
The museum opened its doors in 2004 with the mission of preserving and promoting traditional, Appalachian mountain and Bluegrass music, not only through its exhibits, but also through workshops, seminars and conventions. The Ralph Stanley Museum is one of The Crooked Road venues, which is a Virginia Heritage Music Trail celebrating the unique musical heritage of the region.
Even if you’ve already been touched by the music of Ralph Stanley, you haven’t fully experienced it until you’ve journeyed into the heart of Appalachia.
EXHIBITS
Museum exhibits highlight the career and musical influences of Ralph Stanley & the Stanley Brothers.
