The House of Cash was a museum in Hendersonville, Tennessee, devoted to the life and work of Johnny Cash opened in 1970.[1] It was located at 700 East Main Street (now known as Johnny Cash Parkway), and is now closed. The museum fell into disrepair toward the end of Cash's life, when it was featured extensively in the music video for Cash's version of the song "Hurt" in February 2002.[2][3]
A new, unrelated Johnny Cash Museum was opened in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2013.[4]
The House of Cash was the 15,000 square foot Plantation Dinner Theatre built in 1960. Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash purchased the two-story building in 1970 and it became the House of Cash Inc. headquarters and museum. The headquarters had about 30 employees. To expand the headquarters, in 1980, the Amqui Train Station in Madison, Tennessee was purchased and then moved to House of Cash Inc. The Amqui Train Station served as an antique store operated by June Carter for 10 years, called Amqui Antique Store. [5] In 2004 the headquarters, museum and store were purchased by HALO Realty and HALO Builders. The Amqui Train Station was donated to Madison by HALO’s founder, Danny Hale. The House of Cash Building now has 15,000 square feet of office space and the Front Door Café. [6][7][8][9]
