In Montgomery, The Hank Williams Museum is home to a little corner of music history.  It is unique,  and literally cannot be found elsewhere.  The Alabama State Archives, and the Country Music Hall of Fame are both prestigious institutions, but merely touch on the story of his life.  Here at the Hank Williams Museum, Hank touches you, because the feelings he wrote about so eloquently and the themes he embraced are eternal among humans.  Hank's music touches the hearts of millions and recruits new fans more than a half-century after his passing.

Montgomery is where his legend began and where it still resides.

Beth and Jeff Petty operate Montgomery's Hank Williams Museum, which includes the 1952 Cadillac Series 62 convertible in which he died, as the centerpiece of the exhibits.  Since its opening in 1999, it has welcomed visitors of all ages and from every continent on the planet.

You want to know about Hank?  You must come to Montgomery to this Corner of Music History.  You can't find it in Nashville, or Memphis, or New Orleans.  Montgomery's Hank Museum is the destination for all things Hank.

Why else would the likes of Gregg Allman, Elvis Costello, Whispering Bill Anderson, Jamey Johnson, Joe Bonamassa, The Beach Boys, Vince Gill, Charlie Daniels, George Thorogood, Luke Bryan, Darryl Worley, B.J. Thomas and hundreds more of well-known and lesser-known musicians come here?  They understand that this place, this corner of music history is the place to come and pay homage to one of the greatest.

We often hear visitors clap, sing, and hum along to the music that is played on speakers as they work their way through the museum, viewing Hank's stage suits, instruments and other personal artifacts.  It is quite common for the simple sight of the Cadillac Rag Top to bring tears to the eyes of his fans.  Each one of those tears provides a powerful testimony to Hank's greatness.

Hank's birthday tribute each year in September is our celebration to Hank...to another year of Hank and to more memories made here at the Corner.
