ARC provides $50,000 for Ralph Stanley Museum

From the Kingsport (TN) Times-News
The Appalachian Regional Commission is providing a $50,000 federal grant to Clintwood to assist with the operating costs of the Ralph Stanley Museum.

The Ralph Stanley Museum will be located in Clintwood's historic Chase House, which is undergoing renovations to house the exhibits that will be showcased in the museum. Once completed, the museum will commemorate the contributions of Ralph Stanley to Appalachia's music culture and the development of traditional mountain and country music.

A formal ribbon-cutting ceremony has been planned for Oct. 15. It is expected that 10,000 people will visit the museum during the first year it is open, and approximately 20,000 will visit during its second year of operation.
