The Hank Williams Museum
About This Museum
In Montgomery, Alabama, just a stone's throw from the spot where Hank Williams was first laid to rest, stands a museum that feels less like a formal institution and more like a pilgrimage site for country music faithful. You walk in and are immediately greeted by the very 1952 blue Cadillac he was riding in on that final, fateful trip to Canton, Ohio. The air is thick with the twang of his records playing softly in the background, a soundtrack for gazing upon his iconic Nudie suits and that trusty Martin D-28 guitar. It’s a deeply personal and surprisingly intimate space, preserving not just the legend of Hiram King Williams, but the man himself.
Collection Highlights
The undeniable centerpiece is Hank's baby-blue 1952 Cadillac, but you'll also find his stunning Nudie suits embroidered with musical notes and western motifs, his personal Martin guitar, and handwritten lyric sheets that show his creative process. A replica of his childhood home in Georgiana adds a poignant touch to the story.
