Really neat museum, lots of items on exhibit! Much more to it than I thought! Great staff. And we happened to come on the day they were celebrating Hank Sr.s birthday, so we got to hear some great live music to boot!

Words cant explain how it made me feel walking in the door. Hank is my all time favorite country singer. I remember my dad singing all his songs going to the wabash river running nets and toeing muscle shells. Thank you for all the memories. Definitely recommending friends and family

The museum was amazing! The lady running the museum, not so much! Shes quite rude. Has a way of making you feel unwelcome, even though you pay money to go in! It made us leave way sooner than we would have. Leaving my children feeling like they were a bother and did something wrong!

Loved seeing the artifacts and the history of Hank. The only downside is that you cant take pictures inside the exhibit.

Now this is how you honor the king of country. This museum is truly one of a kind . From rare never before seen photos of Hank to the beautiful car he took his last ride in. This is a must if your in Montgomery Alabama.

A bit pricey to get on(10 bucks for adults) but if you are a Hank Williams fan, its a great memorial. You see lots of personal information with Hank, his wife and fellow musicians. I was surprised I enjoyed it as much as I did. The only drawback was we were not allowed to take pictures in the museum itself. The Indian in the accompanying photo was in the gift shop.A worthwhile stop for country music fans.

A wonderful tribute to The Legend of Hank Williams. A must see for any Hank Williams fan. Seeing his Cadillac is indescribable and I’m so glad that we came.Don’t forget to bring a quarter to play a song on the jukebox.P.S. the lovely girl working there is the grand daughter of the man that owes the museum.

What a fantastic tribute to one of Americas best Country Music Legends. I wish I could share photos with you but photography is not allowed. Youll hear Hank singing some of his most loved tunes along with admiring the beautiful costumes he and his wife Audrey wore to perform in. Hanks big blue Cadillac is on full display. Youll read about how he died and much about his life. Theres authentic furniture from the home he shared with wife Audrey and children Hank Jr and Lucretia. What an enjoyable experience this was and I highly recommend you tour it.

Lots and lots of Hank Williams suits and personal items in this hometown museum. The car he died in Is also in this museum. There is a video of his funeral. If you love Hank Williams, you need to see this museum.

Wow!!!!!!!!!I came up from Florida with my kids and my husband to visit the Hank Williams museum. This is by far the best museum I have ever visited in my entire life!! It’s like you step back in time, and you really feel the presence of Hank all around you. The feeling that you get sitting in front of his Cadillac is indescribable and I’m so glad that we came. I could have spent the entire day there listening to the juke box and just taking it all in. Who cares that you can’t have a phone in the museum, if you are a true Hank fan, it won’t matter! The amount of personal items that his family have generously put in the museum is amazing. I loved seeing all of his boots and suits! If you love Hank, don’t miss out on this true gem! You won’t be disappointed

Drove down from Indiana. Worth every mile. This museum has some pretty remarkable artifacts once owned by Hiram Hank Williams. From the powder blue Cadillac he passed away in, to numerous Nudie Suits and boots. Learned quite a bit while walking through the tour. No cameras allowed. Just 2 minutes away, you must check out the cemetery where he and Audrey are buried. No words can express the feelings ya get while there....Highly reccomend

Go! It was much bigger than I thought, and does a great job of talking about his life and explaining his music. There were a bunch of cool liens on display, and they play a video showing the only video recording it him playing music that exists. Price was very reasonable, and the staff was very nice. Its amazing what Hank did for music in the short time he had.

Review №32

Enjoyable and worth a stop. Of course itd be nice if it were free. (I see everyone complaining about the price). I dont think $10 was too high though. There is a lot to see, read and take in. But yeah, bummer on not being able to take pictures. But we kept our phones in our pockets and didnt have any issues. The female at the desk did circle through once while we were viewing things (maybe to ensure we werent taking pics?)

We bring out of town visitors here often. You would think we would get tired of it, but they have something different added or moved around every time we go. If you havent seen it and you are a Hank fan, this is a big bucket list item.

This museum is small but is jam packed with things to read and see. I feel it is well worth the money. I learned a lot and was happy I went.My only nit-pick is, your not allowed to take photos.I feel the more photos of this legendary singer online or shared with others, will only help to preserve and teach younger generations of such musical talent.

Too cool, a great tribute to Hank. Enjoyed the Museum and gift shop, many items to see on display from Hanks outfits to guitars. Cheap admission for the enjoyment, bring in extra quarters to play jukebox.

Any Hank lover needs to stop here! We had a great time seeing everything. They have a nice gift shop where you can purchase t-shirts and several other Hank items. The only issue we had was that we were pulling a 24 ft enclosed trailer, but luckily we found an empty parking lot a few blocks away and walked there. That was my fault for not checking about parking!! They do have parking for single vehicles all around though.

It was $10.00 per adult and thats fine but we were not allowed to take pictures past the lobby. It would have been nice to take pics next to his car or next to one of the cardboard cutouts. We went to several other museums that day, no admission required and no restrictions on taking pics. So I would recommend the Confederate White and the Museum of Alabama, absolutely fantastic.

Rude people!!!Take the advice and skip this place. Manager is obsessed with people taking pictures and cellphones. Ruins any enjoyable experience when you are followed by her like mall security. Even though she is standing by watching she wasnt willing to answer any questions or offer any advice.I asked for local food options or more information and she was quick to point out that she isnt a tour guide.Save the money and time and do something else, this place isnt worth the headache. It may be nice if it were under new management but I wont try it again.

Classic, musty, museum of Hanks clothes and his baby blue car. Still Hanks awesome so I enjoyed seeing his stuff and the music and the opry house clips of his performances. Got a Hank You bumper sticker. :-)

Review №84

I liked going here. The place is obviously stuck in the past, and.. of course.. there is no need to move on since Hank Williams is treasure to a grateful past.. time stands still within these walls. Lots of memorablia and records. You can even buy shellacs in the store for 25$ each(which is quite expensive, but they have them on sale!) Not everything is as interesting and the fanlike art is overwhelming and might get close to an overkill. But its a nice experience for every Hank Williams fan.

Montgomerys own troubadour is celebrated in this quirky museum, stuffed to the gills with memorabilia from Hanks clothes to even the car he died in! The museum management is happy to assist groups with off-hours tours if booked in advance. Insider Tip: Visit on New Years Day - the anniversary of Hanks death to participate in graveside singing at the Memorial at Oakwood Cemetery and then a New Years potluck and live music at the museum. And dont forget an awesome T-shirt!

It is rare these days to find unique and authentic places in the world.....it seems everything is corporate this, and franchised that. A museum built by the love of the arts and run by a family for the love of the creator. Soak up the authenticity and the history.
