Patsy Cline Museum Coming to Nashville!
The founder of the Johnny Cash Museum, Bill Miller, and his wife just announced today that they will be starting on building a museum honoring the late Patsy Cline.
While they only released preliminary details, their plan is to begin building the museum in June.
When talking about the project, Bill Miller had this to say about Patsy Cline:
Of all the artists in the history of country music, few are as recognized and as recognizable as Patsy Cline. Despite the fact that she passed decades ago, her impact and presence are every bit as big today as ever. She has transcended generations and genres and is indisputably the greatest and most influential female country music artist of all time. She's a true icon deserving of her own museum. Her fans from around the globe will have a place to come and celebrate her life and legacy. It's a pleasure and an honor to be working with Patsy's children on this world-class museum project.

Patsy Cline's daughter, Julie Fudge had this to say:
"I am very happy to speak on behalf of my brothers, Randy and Chip and in honor of the legacy of my mother Patsy Cline. Since the passing of our father last fall, this is our first step together in continuing to share Mom’s music, life and story, as we feel Dad would have. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to partner with and experience what Bill will present to old and new fans alike. (source)
The museum will be located above the Johnny Cash Museum, in the heart of downtown Nashville. The museum is said to have cutting edge audio and touch screen video technology. The Cline family is also working to gather personal pieces of Patsy Cline memorabilia, like some of her costumes, awards, letters, and pictures.
What a great way to honor a country legend!
While we await the opening of the Patsy Cline museum, lets take a listen to a Patsy Cline favorite!
