Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Museum
Item 1 of 5
Music of all genres, not just country and bluegrass, are on display throughout the museum. You can learn more about the history of Kentucky’s rich music heritage, as well as interact with the instruments to create your own sound.
Events are held in the lobby of the museum barn, including singer-songwriter series. A large gift shop with assorted music instruments, accessories, as well as Kentucky products are available for purchase to take home a souvenir.
Mt. Vernon-Rockcastle County Tourist Commission owns the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame & Museum, as well as several notable historic properties nearby. Behind the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Museum is the outdoor amphitheater where concerts take place on the wooden stage. The original John Lair House sits next door and is available for rentals. Nearby is the Aunt Polly House, which is a 2-story cabin, as well as the Bittersweet Cabin Village.
While it was once connected with John Lair’s barn and home, the Renfro Valley Entertainment Center next door is privately owned and operated by the Enneking Family. They host concerts throughout the year in both the New Barn and Old Barn Theater.
Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Museum is open to visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM year-round. We are closed on New Year’s Eve, New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Eve, and Christmas Day.
