We had the morning free and popped into Patsy's House. It's located in a residential neighborhood. Limited parking. It's a nice museum. Liz our guide greeted us and collected the $10 fee per person. It's not a big house but it is frozen in time when Patsy was there. Lots of pictures and artifacts from her life. Loved the salt & pepper shakers collection. The upstairs is a single bedroom and they only had half bath. A cute gift shop in the kitchen area. A must visit for any fan of Patsy Cline. Down the block is a new amphitheater/park that is going to be dedicated to her. Her burial site is 3 miles down the road. read more

Very interesting learning the history of Patsy Cline the two ladies doing the short albeit very informative and interesting tour were wonderful! We definitely learned things we never knew about this icon of country music. Be sure and stop in if you are in the area for sure!! read more

Beautiful sunshiny day. The preservation of her passion and the staff were very enjoyable. Thank you.

At $10, it's expensive for what you get. It's about 20 minutes to cover 3 rooms and a kitchen. A docent gives you a tour of the small home and does a nice job of summarizing Patsy's chaotic childhood (19 moves in her first 16 years, culminating in the home on tour) and the Arthur Godfrey appearance that was her big break. But there's almost nothing in the house that's original--not the dress, piano, furniture or anything but a camera, hairbrush and two pairs of shoes. The work to show old wallpaper and the underlying log cabin structure is interesting. Overall, well done but they just need more. As long as you're in town, see the Patsy exhibit at the visitor center, which is free and has an actual piano she played and that you can play too, read more

I wish I had time to do more than look at the outside and listen to Patsy Cline sing "Crazy" on Youtube. The marker reads: Patsy Cline (Virginia Patterson Hensley), world-famous singer, lived in this house. She was born in Winchester Memorial Hospital on 8 September 1932. On January 21 1957, she won Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts national television show's competition singing "Walkin' After Midnight." In 1961, "I Fall to Pieces" became a hit. Her iconic "Crazy" was released a year later. Her haunting voice took her to the top of the charts, and her style and popularity have never waned. She died in an airplane crash on March 5, 1963 in Camden, Tennessee. In 1973, she was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Cline is interred at nearby Shenandoah Memorial Park. read more

I had a nice visit here. The docents were very welcoming and knowledgeable. The tour, which took about 45 minutes, was full of historical facts and fun anecdotes about Patsy's life. There are items in each room of the house that actually belonged to Patsy. The rest of the items were selected for the home with the help of Patsy's relatives who remembered how the house looked when Patsy lived there. They seemed to take great care in choosing the items to make things look as accurate as possible. This is a near piece of history in Winchester! read more

This modest home was purchased by Patsy Cline with the first money she made as a singer and it is touching to see how simply she and her family lived. Our tour guides were extremely knowledgable and were terrific at pointing out the many details that helped us know more about Patsy. We especially liked seeing copies of the little drawings she did of the costumes she wanted her mother to sew for her. It is refreshing to see how lovingly these mementos are preserved. read more

Delightful tour and the staff were knowledge and personable. Loved the care that is apparently taken with all of the items in the home. Cute little gift store. Loved it even more since I grew up with my Dad listening to Patsy Cline and we did choose one of her songs as our wedding song! read more

This is a must-see! If you're a fan of Patsy Cline, a lover of classic country music, or simply someone looking to learn a bit of history, then you should definitely visit. The docents were very friendly and knowledgeable, and it's a great opportunity to learn about the early years of this legend and soak in a bit of the environment in which she was raised. There are several items throughout the house that belonged to Patsy, and there has been a great deal of work done by family friends and the community to reconstruct the remainder of the furnishing as accurately as possible (not exact, but enough to give a feel of what it would have been like). If you're in Winchester, stop and visit! read more

What a delightful place! More than I was expecting, definitely a labor of love. (The house is quite small and the tours are rather intimate, so plan to arrive on time!) The docents are friendly and knowledgeable. Part of the house's charm is that the collection and the stories grow as more visitors come through. If you're able, stick a few extra bucks in the boot in the kitchen. They're trying to raise funds for a visitors' restroom, a requirement for getting a sign on the interstate. (Speaking of which, go before you go, as there is no public restroom.) They've done a wonderful job commemorating an outstanding talent and down-home gal. read more

Step back into time and experience life as Patsy Cline knew it at the house she grew up in and signed her first recording contract in. Every room has something in it that belonged to her or her family. Pictures and artifacts tell the story as well as docents who obviously love her and know the story. Excellant job. Best of its kind. read more
