Well worth the visit. Mr Henry Harrison has a lot of knowledge and memorabilia including a Carl Perkins guitar and a Sam Phillips drum kit

Hollywood gave 4 of us a personal tour of the museum. He knew his stuff and actually played with some of the band members himself. He told us that on Friday and Saturday nights they have live music and dancing so we went back in the evening (Saturday) and were greeted by the most gracious people I have ever met in my life. They, as regulars, introduced themselves and welcomed us with open arms. As a northeasterner I have never experienced this before from people I didnt even know. I will never forget them. I love the south and spend every winter in Gulf Shores, AL, and this visit to the museum only validates my reason for coming back every year! #southern hospitality, #trouble2

We had an interesting tour and many stories from Hollywood. He added interesting flavor to the the history of Jackson and early Rock & Roll, Rock-a-Billy. there was always a story behind an object or photo. The museum has tons of photos and a whole section just on Elvis. I just wish there was more music playing.

Loved hearing first-hand encounters and stories of some of musics greatest musicians. The HOF is unlike any other museum youll go to. Everything is about what the owner (who was personal friends with many atrists) tells you as he walks you around personally. He also lets you get involved with some of the pieces that the HOF has like a drum set that DJ Fontana used and a guitar that Carl Perkins played.

I found this place by accident while passing through Jackson, TN, my hometown. I was looking for directions to a Carl Perkins museum that I know existed a while ago, housed in a caboose on the lot of Casey Jones Village. But Henry Harrisons International Rockabilly Hall Of Fame & Museum popped up and I had to go because I had never been. Not much to see or do in downtown Jackson on even a busy day, and in fact, this would be my first trip since the day I was born for all I could remember. This building looked like any other, except for a giant mural on the entire wall with Carl Perkins front and center, and among other things, Paul McCartney standing off to the side. Carl Perkins is a big deal whether you know it or not. Anyway, the sign on the door told me to ring the doorbell if it was locked and theyd open up. I had no idea what I was walking into, but I couldnt wait for the nicest old lady to open the door. She let me in, I looked around, and she immediately admitted that she didnt know much about any of the things but her husband Henry Harrison would be right back and I could look around and wait for him. Sure enough, within about 6 minutes, Henry walks in the door, kisses his wife on the cheek, goes to tend to whatever he was coming back to do and then she tells him Im there. Henry comes right up to me, shakes my hand, asks where Im from -- Well, Jackson! But via West Texas! -- and proceeds to show me some of the most interesting bits from the roots of rockabilly that most people will never see or know. Then he tells me that hes been told that he has the largest collection of video interviews with everyone who was ever anyone in the genre provided they are still living, of course. I ask, like an idiot of the Information Age, if its available online, to which he replies a stern No. with a sort of grimacing smile, but nice enough. Instead, he pulls up a chair to one of many small TV/DVD combos around the room, which is actually a stage and dance floor rather than what I had expected, and proceeds to watch with me 20 minutes of an hour and a half long interview with Wanda Jackson --YES!-- and then just turns it off, and ushers me into the other room to show me a photo of Elvis playing flag football months before he recorded his first now-historic single at Sun Studio. Henry has it all, and hes happy to tell you about every thing. What a guy! His wife then reminds him that hes 82? and needs to eat lunch, they both apologize for not being able to stick around. Then he asks her to just bring him lunch, and then asks if Id like anything. I didnt, but I really wish I hadnt just stuffed myself with things from a gas station, typical road trip fare. While we wait, he shows me short pieces of other videos on other TV/DVD stations around the room. The thing people ask most, Do you have the Blue Suede Shoes? He does, sort of. Theres a pair of, in fact, blue suede shoes in a glass case, that Carl Perkins himself, in fact, did donate to the museum, but he never, in fact, ever wore that pair. Henry admitted that the blue suede shoes were likely long gone by now, and so what. What a guy! I dropped $10 in the donation jar, took a few more photos of the outside of the building, and got on my way. West to Memphis, west to Texas, rockabilly all the way.

The Rockabilly Hall of Fame is really cool. Its different than what I thought it would be. Our tour guide Mr Harrison not only knows his stuff about music...hes lived it.Its not everyone who has spent years with Elvis. Johnny Cash and the like. His stories of these musicians and all that surrounded them are amazing. If you really want to learn about the history of the blues and the evolvement into Rockabilly and so forth then I suggest you go.Mr Harrison is a really cool dude and and has a passion for teaching and not just showing off. I loved this guy. He filled my head with knowledge and had fun to bootYoull have fun and its not expensive.

Took the tour today with Hollywood! He knows his stuff and his passion is evident.... I would definitely recommend this great gem halfway between Memphis and Nashville....Worth the quick detour!

I wish the man who ran this was still alive. He was a wealth of information and stories rich with music history.

This place was amazing. The amount of memorabilia and just the history was astonishing. I cant say enough about our tour guide Hollywood . He lived it. I was awestruck quite a few times

Bitter sweet last dance at intl rock a billy. Wonderful music and lots of old friends.

Wonderful place, so many history to see. Also Hollywood is a great host. We loved!

This was an unexpected and incredible stop on our road trip. Henry Harrison lived this history and gave us a tour that immersed us in the early rockabilly experience. I feel extremely lucky to have visited while Mr. Harrison is still around. You do not need to know anything about rockabilly do deeply appreciate this experience.

We really enjoyed that place a lot. The tour guide was fun and all they ask for is a donation to help keep the place running.

Enjoyed Mr Harrisons account of Rockabilly history...and knowing that he was friends with so many legends. Wish I had all day just to sit and listen to this mans fabulous life!My only complaint...too hot inside & would have loved to have been able to walk thru on my own before the talk.

The curator of the museum is a treasure of a human being! We came here by accident and it was the best thing on a two week road trip. I have never felt as welcomed or as enthralled in any museum. What an amazing place and a sage of human being that runs it. THANK YOU HENRY!

Loved seeing and hearing all the history here! Henry Harrison is an excellent tour guide and is very informative. He knew a lot of the artists also.

We really enjoyed our visit, you can touch and hold what they have inside,

We stumbled upon this place completely accidentally, and we were immediately enthralled by Henry Harrison! We were honored that he shared with us his stories about the beginnings of rockabilly and the stories of his friend Carl Perkins! Henry is a treasure!

Neat little spot, good music, friendly folks and dancing.

Wonderful gem of a museum. A must see! Henry Harrison is terrific!

Just like visiting your grandparents, if your grandparents knew guys like elvis

Henry Harrison is a fantastic person and the stories, oh the stories!!! This is a must go for anyone visiting the Jackson area. If you go to Sun studio you must make a trip here as well. So glad we came. What a privilege to have the tour.
