From classical composer George Crumb to the renowned Appalachian singer Hazel Dickens and country star Brad Paisley – and with musicians like Winton Walls, the Lilly Brothers, Little Jimmie Dickens and Hasil Adkins in between – West Virginians have made significant and lasting contributions to the rich and varied music of America.

The mission of the West Virgnia Music Hall of Fame is to document and preserve those conributions and, at the same time, remind and educate people in West Virginia and beyond its borders of these important artists.

Initially, a series of traveling exhibits will be available to communities and schools around the state. In the meantime, we will begin fundraising efforts to secure a facility to house archives and memorabilia.
