Patsy Cline Museum

It is home to an extensive collection of Patsy Cline memorabilia as well as real-life artifacts once owned by the country singer, who died in a plane crash in 1963 at the age of 30.

For example, one exhibit includes the sign, a wooden booth, and a milkshake maker from the pharmacy – Gaunt's Drug Store – where she worked during her teen years in Winchester, Virginia.

A recreated version of the dining room in the home she later shared with Charlie Dick in Nashville includes her Filter Queen vacuum cleaner and the canceled check she used to buy it.

[1][6][3] Interactive stations allow visitors to listen to Cline's music, watch clips of her performances, and read full copies of some of her handwritten letters.

[5][1][6][3] Various mementos are on display in the museum, including a large number of items that personally belonged to Cline and a few that tend to have an emotional impact, such as the Elgin watch – a gift from her husband – worn by Cline at the time of her death, her silver engraved wedding ring, the ID bracelet (with photos inside) that she gave to Charlie Dick, and the handkerchief used by her mom at her funeral.
