This experience is designed to share not only the places connected to Johnny Cash, but also the stories, spirit, and Nashville memories that help bring his legacy to life in a personal way.

This part of the experience includes stories from the House of Cash — his office and recording headquarters during much of his career, his lakeside home, and the final resting place he shares with June Carter Cash.
These locations reveal a deeper, more personal side of Johnny — the man behind the legend — shared through firsthand memories and experiences you won't hear anywhere else. Along the way, experience the places he lived, worked and spent his private time — including local spots like Center Point Barbecue, a favorite tied to the Cash family story.
