When country music legend George Jones passed away on April 26, 2013 at the age of 81, he left behind a rich musical legacy that has rarely been equaled — matched only by a life story filled with more triumph and heartbreak than the greatest country song ever written.
The George Jones Museum is set to open the weekend of April 26th in downtown Nashville. Exhibits will cover his childhood singing in Texas, time spend as a United States Marine and radio announcer, along with moments throughout his legendary career. The museum will have a theater, restaurant, event space, gift shop and rooftop bar.
