Only 3 stars because it was closed. It should have been open when we arrived, Thursday at 1015 am, and we waited for 30 minutes. It looked cool from the outside. Next time we are in the area we will try again.

If youre coming to Muscle Shoals to tour FAME studios, you must also come here. Any music geeks should educate themselves with the work of W.C. Handy, critical to brining African American music to the masses.

The tour guide was personable and taught me a lot about W.C Handys history. I highly recommend you give this place a visit

Interesting facts presented by the hostess of Mr. Handys life and career, while viewing memorabilia. Original boyhood home is attached to the museum (moved from its original location elsewhere in town)

My wife has been running at this event for years. I love the atmosphere and especially the car shows. We both enjoy the music. Handy week is a good time for people to get and enjoy the Shoals area.

Enjoyed visiting this historic place, seeing the sites and learning what they had to offer.

Its amazing to me with had so much musical talent come out the Florence Muscle Shoals area,,,, endless ,,,W.C. Handy at the top of the list

Fascinating museum showcasing life of early pioneer and father of blues music.

Excellent log cabin and museum.

Lots of cool memorabilia. Fun to see.

If it werent for the fact that a portion of WC Handys childhood home is attached, this wouldnt be much of a museum. Even with that feature, it still isnt a lot. A few display cases and pictures on the wall is pretty much the whole show. But standing in a portion of the preserved shack says plenty about his childhood. And the display cases do a remarkably good job of telling the mans story of achievement. Not to mention that its nice to see a permanent tribute to a Shoals native son who made a major mark on the world of music.

Excellent! The lady who guided the tour was very sweet and kind. She also had a lot of knowledge. We very much enjoyed our visit and highly recommend to music fans.

Loved the lady that did the tour she was very informative and I enjoyed meeting her and chatting wit her.

The Curator needs a raise. $5 to get in,cheap. Being from a place where W.C. Handy visited and now has a week festival, i learned so much more. Worth the visit,if nothing else,just go talk with yhe curator.

It was very interesting to see the Home and memorabilia of the “Father of the Blues.” The woman who gave my tour was a wealth of knowledge. Thoroughly enjoyed this visit.

Wonderful tour, wonderful little slice of history! Woman the runs the places and gives the tours is a lovely lady!!

Excellent tour and the sweetest tour guide ever.

Very interesting history of the father of the blues.

If you have never been you should go !!

Fun and interesting. Enjoyed it very much.

We really enjoyed learning more about blues music.

A nice little museum. They can use some more updated and interactive exhibits.

Wonderful.

Great place to visit historical

Cool place lots of history

The story behind W.C was fascinating but the museum was just boring.

If you havent been, and have a bit of time to kill, it was quite interesting.

Okay

Please come by and visit
