The City of Cookeville's purchase of the Depot for $1 seemed to be the real deal, but it turned out there were others in the background ready to unravel what seemed like a match made in heaven What starts out as a night of celebration may end up being a "Scandal at the Station” So leave your problems and worries behind and bring a lighthearted attitude toward blackmail, larceny and deceit to the “Scandal at the Station” murder mystery We are "dying" to see you at the Depot!]]>

Discovering the Civil War, landmark exhibition from Washington DC’s National Archives at the Tennessee State Museum Layers of time and memory have obscured the American Civil War for many in a smoky haze The real human beings, military and civilian, who lived through these years of travail and sacrifice, are lost to us, but the objects and records they left behind do offer a window into the past The National Archives holds millions of records, both Union and Confederate Discovering the Civil War draws on these through letters, diaries, photos, petitions, and patents to give visitors a chance to walk in the shoes of scolars in unlocking secrets, solving mysteries, and uncovering unexpected events from this pivotal point in our nation’s history The exhibit is divided into 12 thematic areas that combine great original treasures, engaging touch screen interactive, and social media tools, all selected to illustrate the breadth of the conflict and to ask, "How do we know what happened?" The original Emancipation Proclamation will be on view for a limited time during the exhibition  "It is an incredible honor for Tennessee to host the Emancipation Proclamation, a document whose significance to the history of this country, and this region in particular, cannot be overstated," according to The Honorable Bill Haslam, govenor of the Volunteer State "This delicate manuscript represents America’s recognition that all are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and we invite people from across the Southeast and the nation to see and celebrate with us the moment our country officially became the land of the free" The exhibition includes original treasures and several documents which will be on public view for the first time The Discovering the Civil War exhibit, which will continue well beyond the Emancipation Proclamation’s six day viewing, is the culmination of 150 years of analysis, interpretation, and opinion on the Civil War through lesser-known stories and perspectives Many items on display never have been publicly exhibited Highlights include the original copy of the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery along with South Carolina’s 1860 declaration of secession]]>

http://store.countrymusichalloffame.com/VisitTheMuseum.php

Start Time(s):

The Bakersfield Sound story begins during the Great Depression, when Bakersfield's cotton farms and oil fields attracted a mass migration of Dust Bowl refugees from Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas Born in Texas in 1929, Buck Owens moved with his sharecropping parents to Arizona before heading to Bakersfield in 1951 Merle Haggard's family, driven to the area from their east-Oklahoma farm, lived in an old converted railroad boxcar when Haggard was born, in a Bakersfield hospital, on April 6, 1937 The exhibit will explore Bakersfield's club scene where, in the 1940s and 1950s, the city's plethora of dance halls and honky-tonks provided respite for wall-to-wall, rambunctious workers eager for the boogiefied honky-tonk of the Maddox Brothers & Rose or the eclectic swing sound of Bob Wills Also on the bandstands were enormously influential musicians Wynn Stewart and Tommy Collins, whose classic honky-tonk songs Owens and Haggard would later record, and for whom they worked as sidemen before launching solo careers The exhibit also spotlights Bill Woods, widely regarded as "The Father of the Bakersfield Sound," and other musical architects, including "Cousin" Herb Henson, Ferlin Husky, Billy Mize, Fuzzy Owen, Bonnie Owens, Jelly Sanders, Jean Shepard, Red Simpson and Lewis Talley One of Bakersfield Sound's recurring themes is the connections between all of the artists making music during this fertile period This is epitomized by the careers of Bakersfield's greatest stars, Owens and Haggard As they came to prominence in the 1960s, their careers and personal lives were interwined not only with each other but with virtually all of the other major figures of the Bakersfield scene These two superstars remained faithful to the classic honky-tonk style and, at the same time, gave country music a harder edge in keeping with the drinking, loud talking, fist-fighting and romancing that characterized Bakersfield's nightclub culture Owens and his top-notch band, the Buckaroos, first popularized Bakersfield's amped-up hybrid of honky-tonk, rockabilly and western swing with 1960s chart-toppers like "Act Naturally," "Love's Gonna Live Here," "Together Again" and "I've Got a Tiger by the Tail" and Haggard and his equally stellar band, the Strangers, soon followed with the unforgettable gems "Sing Me Back Home," "Mama Tried," "Okie from Muskogee" and "The Fightin' Side of Me" These Bohemian originals scored nearly 60 #l hits between them and created a body of work that continues to influence artists today The exhibit will also focus on the Bakersfield music businesses that evolved in the 1960s, including publishing houses, recording studios, booking and management agencies, radio stations and performance venues, and particularly on Buck Owens Enterprises, the music empire owned and operated by the savvy Owens It will also explore the enduring impact of the Bakersfield Sound on subsequent generations of musicians, singers and songwriters, from country-rock pioneers the Flying Burrito Brothers to Dwight Yoakam and Brad Paisley, and many others Among other narrative elements, visitors will learn about the importance of Capitol Records producer Ken Nelson, who recorded numerous Bakersfield classics, including many of Owens' and Haggard's hits, and who has been elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame; and the role of the Buckaroos and the Strangers in developing the Bakersfield Sound, with emphasis on key sidemen such as steel guitar innovator Ralph Mooney, Telecaster ace Roy Nichols and lead guitarist and harmony vocalist Don Rich The Bakersfield-based Mosrite company, who manufactured instruments and issued recordings, also will be highlighted The Bakersfield Sound story will include hundreds of archival photos, audio and video clips, and a Fort Knox of rare, historic and visually stunning artifacts including: Stage costumes worn by the Maddox Brothers & Rose, featuring floral motifs, elaborate embroidery and fringe, created by famed Hollywood designer Nathan Turk; Wynn Stewart's understated Nudie suit with decorative straps and buckles; several Turk-designed suits worn by Buck Owens; a Nudie suit with motifs from the San Joaquin Valley, worn by Bobby Adamson of the Farmer Boys; and more A plethora of important instruments, including Telecasters belonging to Buck Owens and Don Rich; Speedy West's Bigsby 1948 steel guitar (its whereabouts a mystery for decades); Ralph Mooney's Fender double-neck pedal steel guitar; and Merle Travis's electric guitar - one of the first solid-body electric guitars, designed by Travis and built by Paul Bigsby Legal documents including the marriage license of Buck and Bonnie Owens; and the "Full Pardon for Crimes of Merle Haggard," signed March 1, 1972, by then-California Governor Ronald Reagan Weaving the expansive story together via video screens throughout the gallery is Yoakam, who created a one-of-a-kind oral history - with special guests Merle Haggard and Chris Hillman - especially for this exhibit; the interview was taped at Hollywood's Capitol Records Tower, where many Bakersfield Sound hits were made]]>
