ThE RALPH STANLEY MUSEUM - HONORING A MUSICAL LEGEND

The Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Mountain Music Center opened its doors in October 2004, providing a truly unique museum experience for music lovers. Stop by and take an interactive musical journey through the career of Dr. Ralph Stanley and the history of traditional mountain music right here where it all started - the beautiful mountains of southwest Virginia.

Ralph Stanley’s music has touched and inspired fans worldwide, but you haven’t fully experienced his music until you’ve journeyed into the heart of Appalachia.

Preserving the Tradition

The Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Mountain Music Center continuously preserves and promotes Bluegrass music through workshops, seminars, and conventions. 

Our museum is also one of The Crooked Road venues, which is a Virginia Heritage Music Trail celebrating the unique musical heritage of the region.
