Enjoyed the museum very much.
Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery, AL is a favorite destination for music fans. He is a treasure to the City of Montgomery and the State of Alabama, and we are paying tribute to the life and accomplishments of this magnificent legend whose name survives in a way that is unique in the history of Music. It is amazing after so many years that there are still things to be said...song to be sung. Year by year since Hank's death in 1953, the real impact his songs made on American Music becomes more evident. His lifelong fans continue, and new admirers are added with each generation. Hank Williams crowded a lot of living into twenty-nine years. It is safe to say, perhaps Hank Williams said all he had to say. We are proud to say that all of the artifacts are authentic. Exhibits include the 1952 Cadillac in which he died, 17 stage suits including Nudie , custom made boots, cowboy hats, tie collection, furniture, portraits, records, horse saddle, piano,awards, rare photos, family history and personal film footage. Experience the history of the first country music superstar and see how Hank Williams transformed country music and sowed the seeds of what was to become American Music, blues, rockabilly and even rock and roll.

True Fans
Jeff Petty and the staff were incredible! Truly, the best stewards for the legacy of Hank Williams. You can tell they are personally interested and invested. The museum can take an hour if you read it all—and they have original Williams-family owned items as well as the Cadillac he passed away in. If you are a fan, you will like it.

A little underwhelming
Parking is limited, so expect to park a little ways away (for a fee) and walk. The cost was a bit more than I felt the exhibit was worth, but fans will always pay it. You purchase your ticket in the gift shop and go to the back portion where there are tons of artifacts and lots of signs. There is no rhyme or reason to how it is displayed and not all of the exhibits are professional - many seemed handmade and/or written. The car in which he died is the centerpiece of the museum but there are several suits he wore on tour that are neat as well. I wouldn't drive to Montgomery just to see this, but if you are in the area, have a few extra bucks, and some free time it is worth going. No pictures allowed in the musuem.
