Johnny Cash Farm Becomes Museum of Memories
24 Oct
Summary
- Johnny Cash's 107-acre Tennessee farm is now a museum.
- The farm was purchased in 2015 for $895,000 by fans.
- The museum preserves Cash's legacy and community connection.
Johnny Cash found a peaceful sanctuary on his 107-acre Tennessee farm in Bon Aqua, purchased in 1972. This retreat allowed him to escape the pressures of fame and connect with life away from the stage. The property became a place for gardening, writing music, and enjoying family time.
Following Cash's passing in 2003, the farm fell into disrepair. However, in 2015, dedicated fans Brian and Sally Oxley purchased the 107-acre estate for $895,000. Their acquisition revealed personal artifacts and stories, including items related to Cash's free "Saturday Night in Hickman County" performances.
The Oxleys lovingly restored both the farm and a nearby general store. This revitalized space now operates as the Storytellers Museum and Hideaway Farm, which opened its doors to visitors in August 2016. The museum actively preserves Cash's deep connection to the community through exhibits and live performances.
