Musical Heritage

Johnny Cash's Boyhood Home, Dyess RoadyGoat

1935

Out at 4791 West County Road 924 in Dyess, Arkansas, stands the farmhouse where Johnny Cash grew up. The Cash family arrived in March 1935, when J.R. was three, as colonists in Dyess Colony, a New Deal agricultural resettlement that gave struggling Depression-era families a house, a barn, and 20-some acres to farm cotton. The Mississippi-Delta floods the family endured here, including the great 1937 flood, later inspired Cash's song 'Five Feet High and Rising.' Arkansas State University restored Farm No. 266 to its 1930s look; tours start at the visitor center at 110 Center Drive. The flat black-dirt fields and the hard cotton-picking childhood shaped the man in black's voice and his songs about working people.

Westover, AR RoadyGoat

Westover, Arkansas, a place carved out of the Mississippi Delta in 1888, still hums with echoes of its past. The air smells faintly of cotton fields and the rich soil that sustains them. Timber harvesting once defined its early days, a rough-and-tumble industry fueled by the proximity to the river. The Great Flood of 1927 dramatically reshaped the town’s edge, a reminder of the Mississippi’s enduring power. They say the oldest oak in town hides a time capsule, a secret repository of memories from generations gone by. But Westover’s legacy isn't just in its landscape and history.
