If you've ever wanted to walk in the footsteps of Johnny Cash, the Storytellers Museum and Cash Hideaway Farm in Bon Aqua, Tenn. is a great place to start. Now, the iconic 3.7-acre property is on the market for $790,000. Owners Brian and Sally Oxley are selling the property, which they lovingly restored and opened to the public in 2016.
According to the Tennesseean, the property comes with a 55-car parking lot, an outdoor stage, sound and lighting equipment, a gazebo and a waterfall.
Saturday Night in Hickman County
Cash bought the property in the early 1970s. He fell in love with the quaint 107-acre farm. Soon after he began holding weekly concerts at the nearby general store, billed as "Saturday Night in Hickman County." The Saturday night gigs were a smash hit among locals, many of whom couldn't afford to attend larger concerts in nearby Nashville.
Cash spent over 30 years on his beloved farm. But by 2015, the property sat vacant and was in need of repair. Cash superfans Brian and Sally Oxley bought the land for $895,000 and set to work restoring it to its original glory. The Oxley's even purchased the former general store where Cash once held his weekly concerts and Red Wortham converted into a recording studio. The Oxleys teamed up with the Cash family, collaborating with Johnny's daughter Cindy Cash to establish the Storytellers Museum.
