On Tuesday, the museum, which contains exhibitions, pictures and memorabilia from the life of country music legend Johnny Cash, displayed his first gold record. The award was for Cash’s first No. 1 record, “Walk the Line.”
The timing of the unveiling was special. It was on the 62nd anniversary of the song’s release.

“This is a piece we had to acquire -- at any price -- and return to its proper place, which is the Johnny Cash Museum,” museum founder Bill Miller said in a news release. “I held this award in my hands during my last visit with Johnny in early September in 2003. I feel good that it’s in my hands again, this time for all the world to see and enjoy.”
