In Clintwood, Virginia, this music museum is dedicated to Ralph Edmond Stanley, the bluegrass musician known for his distinctive singing and banjo playing. Opened in October 2004 in the historic 1903 Chase House near his birthplace of McClure, it traces his life and career through exhibits on his travels and personal items such as instruments and journals. Alongside the Traditional Mountain Music Center, it also serves a broader purpose within the Crooked Road, Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail: preserving and promoting mountain music and bluegrass through workshops, seminars, and conventions while connecting Stanley’s legacy to the wider regional culture.
