THE er Cart FAMILY The most influential recordings to come out of the 1927 Bristol Sessions were by The Carter Family: A. P., his wife Sara, and Sara’s teenage cousin Maybelle. The Carters all lived in Maces Spring, Virginia, and while they had performed before, they had not yet recorded any songs. On August 1 and 2, 1927, The Carter Family recorded six songs in Bristol, including “Bury Me Under The Weeping Willow,” “The Storms Are On The Ocean,” and “Single Girl, Married Girl.” These recordings not only launched the Carters as the most important singing group in country music history, but also helped define the sound of modern country music. The Carters went on to record hundreds more songs, perform live and on border radio in Mexico, and create a long-standing family musical tradition. They are now known as “The First Family of Country Music.” Color In The Carter Family!

P., Sara, and Maybelle, but making music has continued down through the family. A. P. and Sara’s children, Joe and Janette, and Maybelle’s children, June, Anita, and Helen – along with their grandchildren and beyond – have helped to bring the sounds of The Carter Family to later audiences. June Carter’s marriage to Johnny Cash brought another musical connection into the family. Today, A. P. and Sara’s granddaughter Rita Forrester runs the Carter Family Fold, sharing old-time and bluegrass music every Saturday, and their grandson Dale Jett performs regularly at the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion music festival.

The collection also contains three recorded interviews with Mr. Kitchens from 1974, 1975, and 2010, respectively. In addition, the Archives hold some related ephemera from Mr. Kitchens including letters addressed to him from members of the Carter Family, record collectors, and from folklife scholars; posters from country music events; fan-made discographies; and original copies of the journal of the Carter Family Fan Club, the Sunny Side Sentinel.

A Music Lover's Getaway in Virginia
A Music Lover’s Getaway in Virginia Virginia’s music roots go deep and continue to have a wide-reaching influence around the country and the world. Virginia’s Heritage Music Trail, The Crooked Road (map below), is a nearly 300-mile self-driving trail that twists and turns its way through the Appalachian Mountains from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Coalfields region, following U.S. Route 58. This trail connects major heritage music venues, such as the Birthplace of Country Music Museum, the Blue Ridge Music Center, and the Carter Family Fold. Music genres along the trail range from traditional gospel, bluegrass, and mountain music – all passed down through the generations. In addition to music, the towns located along the trail feature a variety of handcrafted artisanal treasures at numerous quaint stores and workshops, inviting you to stop in and browse. Day 1 – Abingdon & Bristol Your gateway to Southwest Virginia and The Crooked Road begins at the Southwest Virginia Cultural Center & Marketplace, located in Abingdon, where you will be introduced to the craft music, food, and culture that make Southwest Virginia such a unique destination. While in Abingdon, visit the The Barter Theatre, the State Theatre of Virginia. Opened during the Great Depression and named for the barter system that allowed locals to trade food for attending a performance, it is the nation’s longest running professional theatre. For outdoor adventure, rent a bike and explore the Virginia Creeper Trail, a popular rails-to-recreation trail. Next up is Bristol, the congressionally designated official Birthplace of Country Music and home to The Birthplace of Country Music Museum (pictured right), an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institution.

P. and Sara Carter House Street Adress/Rt. No.: Rt. 614 VHLC File Number: 84-14 Vicinity of: Maces Spring Owner: Milan and Gladys Carter Millard USGS Quad: Hilton 7.5 Rt. 1, Hiltons, VA 24258 Date(s): Early 20th Century Architect/Builder: remodeled by A. Original Use: Dwelling Style: Vernacular Carter Present Use: Dwelling Condition: Very Good Altered x ; unaltered Physical Description: The A. P. and Sara Carter House is a one-and-one-half story, wood-frame bungalow whose present form reflects the 1928 alterations made by A. P. Carter. According to his daughter, Gladys, the present owner, the house contained only four rooms, two rooms wide and two rooms deep, when her parents acquired the property. A carpenter by trade, A. P. Carter remodeled the original three-bay block by creating bedrooms on the second floor, lit by a new front dormer, and by remodeling the front porch. Carter added a dining room addition which still stands off the east end. Few major changes were made to the plan besides the. removal of the partition between the two front rooms. The resulting dwelling clearly reflects the vernacular domestic forms of rural Scott County in the early twentieth century. Since 1960, Gladys and Milan Millard have made several additions, including a garage/den addition off the west end, balancing the east wing added by A. P. Carter. The Millards also created a basement, added a bathroom, enlarged the back bedroom, and covered the house with aluminum siding.
