About this event
One of 5 upcoming events at Johnny Cash Boyhood Home.
Join us as we celebrate America 250 with a new exhibit, Ragged Old Flag: Johnny Cash and the American Experience. Explore the story of American history and patriotism through the powerful music and message of Johnny Cash.
Through lyrics, photographs, artifacts, and historical context, visitors will experience how Johnny Cash’s music captured the complexities of loving one’s country while challenging it to live up to its highest ideals. The exhibit highlights how patriotism can be expressed not only through pride and tradition, but also through conscience, compassion, and courage.
Ragged Old Flag invites visitors to reflect on what it means to be American—and how music can tell our national story in ways history books alone cannot.
