- Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Mountain Music Center
In October of 2004, a unique museum experience became available to
music lovers: The Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Mountain Music Center.
- Combining the career of Dr. Ralph Stanley with the history of traditional
mountain music, this interactive musical journey allows you to see and
hear this particular style of American music in its original setting -
the mountains of southwest Virginia.
 Even if you've
already been touched by his music, you haven't fully experienced it until
you've journeyed into the heart of Appalachia.
The Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Mountain Music Center is located
in a century-old four-story home currently under design renovation in Clintwood,
Virginia.
The vision for the museum and music center is to preserve and promote
mountain and Bluegrass music with workshops, seminars, and conventions.
Combining the career of Dr. Ralph Stanley with the history of traditional
mountain music, this state-of-the-art, interactive museum will allow you
to see and hear this particular style of American music in its original
setting – the mountains of southwestern Virginia. Follow the career
of Ralph Stanley through the exhibits and learn how the environment and
traditional music influenced his style.
