Ralph Stanley Museum
The Ralph Stanley Museum and Traditional Mountain Music Center is located in this 100-year-old house in Clintwood, Virginia. Ralph Stanley was born in Dickenson County in a small town called McClure where he still resides when he's not on the road. He and his brother, Carter, formed the Stanley Brothers in the mid-1940s. Their musical style was influenced in part by the traditional minor key singing style of the Primitive Baptists. The Stanley Brothers performed on radio and later became recording artists. Carter passed away in 1966. Interest in the music of Ralph Stanley resurged after his rendition of "Oh Death" was featured in the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" for which he won a Grammy award.
