Hank Williams Museum
A museum honoring country music legend Hank Williams, displaying his stage costumes, guitars, and the 1952 Cadillac he was riding in when he died.
Hank Williams was one of the most influential singers in the history of country music. He rose to fame in Montgomery and died in the car on New Year's Day 1953, on his way to a performance. He was just 29. The museum holds his stage suits, boots, instruments, records, and manuscripts. Its centerpiece is the pale blue Cadillac he was traveling in at the end. A bronze statue of Hank Williams stands nearby, and his grave is in Oakwood Cemetery in the north of the city. Admission is about $15, and the museum is closed on Mondays.
