History

The House of Cash was adapted from the 15,000 square foot Plantation Dinner Theatre built in 1960. Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash purchased the two-story building in 1970, and it became the House of Cash Inc. headquarters and museum. The headquarters had about 30 employees. To expand the headquarters, in 1980, the Amqui Train Station in Madison, Tennessee was purchased and moved to House of Cash Inc. The Amqui Train Station served as an antique store operated by June Carter for 10 years, called Amqui Antique Store. [3]

In 2004 the headquarters, museum, and store were purchased by HALO Realty and HALO Builders. The Amqui Train Station was donated to the city of Madison by HALO's founder, Danny Hale. The House of Cash Building has been adapted for 15,000 square feet of office space. Hale used the former museum as headquarters for his many contributions to the City of Hendersonville TN including donation of land for the Hendersonville Public Library, development of the city's largest retail development Indian Lake Village, and a new fire hall in the Winston Hills residential development on property formerly owned by Cash., [4] [5] [6] [7]
