Loved the music, the car Hank died in was kind of spooky. More

Wow, what a great museum! If you are even remotely a Hank Williams Sr. fan, you have to see this museum. It's not a huge museum but it's super detailed and you'll learn things about this huge talent that you never knew. More

My husband is a huge Hank Williams fan so we made this a stop during a recent driving trip across the South. It was a great find! The museum includes clothes that Williams wore, rare video of his performances, his furniture and the car in which he died. No photography is allowed in the museum. The owner was very nice... More

Hank Williams once said ‘If a song can’t be written in 20 minutes, it ain’t worth writing.” And, he should know. Though he lived only 29 short years Hank Williams Sr, changed country music forever – becoming one of the most prolific songwriters of his day and perhaps throughout history. Williams had 35 of his singles wind up on Billboard’s... More

Went for my mom, a true fan. They have Hank Williamss car along wtih some suits and other personal effects. Admission was $8.00 each. The lady said we could not take pictures (which was fine with me) but then said if we needed to text or talk on the phone we had to come out to the front. There were... More

Driving from Florida to Texas we detoured to Montgomery to hit this museum for my dad. He is Country Music to his core and no one is greater than Hank. My dad LOVED it, but surprisingly the rest of us enjoyed it also. It is located in downtown Montgomery near the courthouse but it was surprisingly easy to get to... More

Visited the museam on a Saturday afternoon. Has a lot of great memorabilia, but it could have been a little more interactive. The cadillac is impressive, along with lots of momentos from Hank Jr., but at the $8 price per person for admission, we expected just a little more. Still a fun family friendly activity, and the location could not... More

It was only when planning our vacation that I looked Hank Williams up on the internet. I was amazed how many famous country records originated with him. As a result I dragged my wife and two children along to this museum when we stopped in Montgomery. We were all very impressed with the amount of Hank memorabilia on display. The... More

I'm not a fan of country music, but even so, I enjoyed visiting the Hank Williams Museum. It is a nice collection and is very informative. I agree with the earlier reviewer who suggested something of a timeline. I was not very familiar with Hank Williams before going to the museum, so I had to keep asking my husband to... More
