The Bluegrass Bus Museum

For the last two decades the Bluegrass Bus Museum has educated and inspired the future generations of American music. From the deserts of California to the heart of the south, Don Clark has made it his personal mission to spread the joy of American music through his Bluegrass Bus Museum. The bus is a hands on interactive museum that allows children and adults to become immersed in the history of country and bluegrass music.

Don Clark, the owner and operator of the Bluegrass Bus Museum has collected bluegrass and country music memorabilia for the past thirty years. The bus museum includes hundreds of autographed photos of musical legends ranging from Flatt & Scruggs to Nickel Creek.The museum features vintage clothing worn by musical stars such as Ralph Stanley, Jimmy Martin and Johnny Cash.  The museum is covered from floor to ceiling in musical items that date back to the 1930’s.    
Many of the guests who tour the bus museum are overwhelmed by the amount of memorabilia that has been collected over the years. Children love the hands on approach to the bus museum and often come back two or three times a day.

For the last 20 years Don Clark has been acting alone as the sole supporter, operator and mechanical chief for the Bluegrass Bus Museum. Hopefully with a little help from others the Bluegrass Bus Museum will be rolling into the future educating and inspiring the future generations of American music.
