Johnny Cash originally purchased this ranch house for his parents. As his health deteriorated in his final days, it was difficult for him to get around in a wheel chair in the lake house across the street, so he lived in this house (nicknamed "Mama Cash's house").

Formerly located in Hendersonville, TN, the Johnny Cash Museum was at this location for many years. While Johnny Cash was alive, it housed many pieces of memorabilia from the performer's life. Cash's own mother, Carrie, worked at the museum for the last ten years of her life.

The museum is featured in the Johnny Cash video "Hurt", a Nine Inch Nails cover that was directed by Mark Romanek. The museum is shown after it had been closed and damaged by a flood- a striking visual metaphor for the dark, introspective lyrics to the song.

The Johnny Cash Museum has since been moved to Nashville, with a scheduled opening in the summer of 2012. The current land and buildings were sold by the Cash family to Hendersonville developer Danny Hale in 2007 for $600,000.

For 35 years, Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash lived in a home on Old Hickory Lake at this address. The home was a mixture of wood, stone, and marble, and was built without a blueprint. The Cashes entertained everybody from Bob Dylan to Rev. Billy Graham to Al Gore in their home.

Contrary to the 2005 film Walk the Line, Johnny did not stumble onto the property while rambling hungover. He did, however, drive a tractor into the lake at one point.

Four years after Johnny Cash passed, former Bee Gees star Barry Gibb purchased the home for $2.6 million. His intent was to restore the property with everything intact, but some flammable wood preserver caught fire and the home was completely destroyed.

The forests around Hendersonville are apparently not kind to wood structures. Roy Orbison's original house, which was next door, also succumbed to fire in 1965. Luther Perkins (Johnny Cash's long-time guitarist) died in a house fire nearby in 1968.

On Monday, September 15, 2003, Johnny Cash was laid to rest next to his wife, June Carter Cash, at Hendersonville Memory Gardens in Hendersonville, TN. He was 71 years old.

June Carter Cash had passed away six months earlier on May 15, 2003, at the age of 73.

The Cash family had lived in a home outside Hendersonville for many years, and the Johnny Cash Museum is also in Hendersonville.

Luther Perkins, the long-time guitarist for Johnny Cash, was also interred at Hendersonville Memory Gardens in 1968 (after dying in a house fire).

The Biblical verse Psalm 19:14 is inscribed on Johnny Cash's grave.
