Johnny Cash Boyhood Home Added To National Register of Historic Places

Johnny Cash’s boyhood home in Dyess has made the National Register of Historic Places.

… Cash, members of his family, and a long list of biographers have referred to his time in Dyess as key to his later musical career, according to the National Register nomination.

In various interviews, Cash spoke of the importance of his early life in Dyess.
