About Texas Country Music Hall of Fame

The Texas Country Music Hall of Fame in Carthage, East Texas, was started in 1998 to recognize Texans who gained national standing in the genre. The complex includes about 13,000 square feet of exhibit space, plus a gift shop and a large banquet hall. The Tex Ritter Museum opened in 2002 and has drawn country fans from many states and abroad. The venue also hosts the annual Classic Country Music Festival and rents its space for meetings and events.
