Well worth the visit. Mr Henry Harrison has a lot of knowledge and memorabilia including a Carl Perkins' guitar and a Sam Phillips' drum kit

This location has apparently closed and moved up the street to the Carnegie at the Legends of Tennessee Music Museum. Please update this accordingly and put a sign on the door.
Hollywood gave 4 of us a personal tour of the museum. He knew his stuff and actually played with some of the band members himself. He told us that on Friday and Saturday nights they have live music and dancing so we went back in the evening (Saturday) and were greeted by the most gracious people I have ever met in my life. They, as regulars, introduced themselves and welcomed us with open arms. As a northeasterner I have never experienced this before from people I didn't even know. I will never forget them. I love the south and spend every winter in Gulf Shores, AL, and this visit to the museum only validates my reason for coming back every year! #southern hospitality, #trouble2
Loved hearing first-hand encounters and stories of some of music's greatest musicians. The HOF is unlike any other museum you'll go to. Everything is about what the owner (who was personal friends with many atrists) tells you as he walks you around personally. He also lets you get involved with some of the pieces that the HOF has like a drum set that DJ Fontana used and a guitar that Carl Perkins played.
We had an interesting tour and many stories from Hollywood. He added interesting flavor to the the history of Jackson and early Rock & Roll, Rock-a-Billy. there was always a story behind an object or photo. The museum has tons of photos and a whole section just on Elvis. I just wish there was more music playing.
The Rockabilly Hall of Fame is really cool. It's different than what I thought it would be. Our tour guide Mr Harrison not only knows his stuff about music...he's lived it. It's not everyone who has spent years with Elvis. Johnny Cash and the like. His stories of these musicians and all that surrounded them are amazing. If you really want to learn about the history of the blues and the evolvement into Rockabilly and so forth then I suggest you go. Mr Harrison is a really cool dude and and has a passion for teaching and not just showing off. I loved this guy. He filled my head with knowledge and had fun to boot You'll have fun and it's not expensive.
Took the tour today with "Hollywood"! He knows his stuff and his passion is evident.... I would definitely recommend this great gem halfway between Memphis and Nashville....Worth the quick detour!
