The Ralph Stanley Museum is a monument to Ralph Edmond Stanley, an American bluegrass musician known for his distinctive singing and banjo playing.

It is also accompanied by a Traditional Mountain Music Center, also known as the Dickenson County Community Center, where private parties and meetings can be held.

The museum is one of the venues of Crooked Road, Virginia, on Virginia's Heritage Music Trail, which is designed to generate tourism and economic development in the Appalachian region of Southwestern Virginia by focusing on the region's unique musical heritage.

The museum describes many of Stanley's travels and contains some of his older possessions, including instruments and journals.
