Johnny Cash Boyhood Home

110 Center Dr · Dyess, AR

Why you should go…

Tours start at the Dyess Colony Visitors Center with a short film and exhibits, continue to a museum in the colony's Administration Building, and end with a guided walk through the restored Cash farmhouse. The house was built in 1934 for a New Deal farming colony, and the Cash family moved in the following year when J.R. was three. He lived here until 1950, and the cotton fields and floods of those years turned up later in songs like "Five Feet High and Rising."

Good to know

General sightseeing guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

The forecast is part of the ticket
Haze, low cloud, and rain flatten a view. Clear-day visits are worth rearranging your plans for.
Golden hour sells out first
Sunset slots at observation decks and cruises are the first to go, so book those further ahead.
Dress a layer warmer
It is always breezier up high and out on the water than it feels at street level.
Timed entry is common
Plenty of landmarks release tickets in windows rather than at the door, so check before you walk over.
