Exhibit at Country Music Hall of Fame

• Patsy was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1973, just one decade after her untimely death in a tragic plane crash in Tennessee. The exhibit at the Hall of Fame and Museum includes biographical information about the legend, photos, records, CDs, and more. A unique display features Patsy's cigarette lighter (which plays "Dixie"), and the clock belonging to her manager Randy Hughes, who was piloting the doomed plane. The clock shows the time at 6:20, and is said to have stopped at the time of impact.

Exhibit at the Willie Nelson Museum

• This exhibit showcases professional and personal mementos, including the watch Patsy was wearing on March 5, 1963 when the plane went down. It's time is stopped at 6:35. Other items at the museum include platinum and gold records, photos, costumes & clothing, and plenty of informative tidbits about Patsy's life and career.

Exhibit at the Opryland Museum

• The living room that belonged to Patsy Cline and her husband Charlie at their dream home has been completely reconstructed at the Opryland Museum to include even the most intricate details. The living room includes custom furniture, wall adornments, records, and, of course, the early-1950s model television. See the small bar inscribed with "Patsy & Charlie," as well as photographs and other personal mementos throughout the museum.
