Infos

When it comes to music, Texas has a rich history, but especially in the world of country music. The genre was born out of the trials and tribulations of the working man and includes a number of influences that include the blues, Southern gospel, folk music, western and more. Many of the biggest names in the genre have hailed from the Lone Star State including the likes of Willie Nelson, Jim Reeves, George Jones and Tanya Tucker, just to name a few of the many icons.The Texas Country Music Hall of Fame came about due to the hard work and visionary thinking of the folks in Carthage, Texas, which is where the Hall of Fame is located. Carthage and Panola County is the hometown of several county music stars including Tex Ritter, Jim Reeves and Linda Davis. The effort to establish the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame was initiated in 1998 to celebrate the contributions of Texans to the country music profession. The project highlights those individuals, living or dead, who are recognized nationally as outstanding in their field. The museum has grown into a multi-million-dollar, state of the art facility that allows visitors to celebrate and explore the rich and vibrant history of country music.
