House of Cash

The House of Cash was a house and museum in Hendersonville, Tennessee, devoted to the life and work of Johnny Cash.[1] It was located at 700 East Main Street, and is closed. Cash did not live there, however; he and his wife lived nearby at 200 Caudill Drive in Hendersonville which was Cash's home from 1968 until his death in 2003.[2]

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 2002.[3] In accordance with Cash's will, his house of residence was sold after his death in 2003. Barry Gibb purchased the property; while it was under renovation, it burned down in an accidental fire in 2007.[1][4]

A new, unrelated Johnny Cash Museum was opened in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2013.[5]
