Excellent little museum that tells the story of W.C. Handy's life. They do a great job of presenting the type of history that often doesn't get told in this kind of depth. Tons of Handy memorabilia..... more

Must see stop for music lovers. He was the father of the blues and inspired great art too. A thank you note from George Gershwin for inspiring Rhapsody in Blue! So neat
-
If you're coming to Muscle Shoals to tour FAME studios, you must also come here. Any music geeks should educate themselves with the work of W.C. Handy, critical to brining African American music to the masses.
-
Interesting facts presented by the hostess of Mr. Handy's life and career, while viewing memorabilia. Original boyhood home is attached to the museum (moved from its original location elsewhere in town)
-
My wife has been running at this event for years. I love the atmosphere and especially the car shows. We both enjoy the music. Handy week is a good time for people to get and enjoy the Shoals area.
-
Only 3 stars because it was closed. It should have been open when we arrived, Thursday at 1015 am, and we waited for 30 minutes. It looked cool from the outside. Next time we are in the area we will try again.
