It's definitely the largest Hank Williams collection I've ever seen. The museum honors his memory with album covers, songs, awards, photos, and an extensive private collection. They even have his horse saddle, which looked like it was totally uncomfortable to ride on. His Gibson guitar was there, and even a fiddle. The biggest highlight was seeing his 1952 Baby Blue Cadillac. It's in beautiful condition. There are suits, overcoats, and boots. The family dining room is reconstructed as well. I wish I could recall everything that I saw. There are no pictures allowed in the museum, but you can take pictures outside of the admission area. I chose to get a postcard of his "Last Ride" at the gift shop as a keepsake.

I really liked listening to all of his music that was playing at the museum. His songs are super recognizable. He died before I was born, but I remember hearing his songs all the time on the radio. Especially song lines like "Hey good lookin', whatcha got cookin'?", which I know has been a jingle in many commercials. He's also had many hits such as "Your Cheatin' Heart", "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", and "Cold, Cold Heart". There were many more songs that I heard at the museum that I remember hearing as a kid. It brought back memories. There's a room that plays his last performance on the "Kate Smith Evening Hour", which was cool to see. It still amazes me that he recorded 225 country songs in a 5 year span. Of those songs, he wrote 128 of them. This was all accomplished before the day he died in that back seat of his Cadillac at the age of 29. It's quite a biographical journey.

I learned a lot. The man that was taking care of the museum that day was very helpful in answering any questions that we had. I think any fan of Hank Williams would appreciate this collection. It's worth a visit when in Montgomery.
