Celebrating Patsy Cline

The Patsy Cline Historic House is on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register. Patsy resided here from 1948-57, longer than at any other house associated with her in the Winchester and Nashville areas, and she returned to it intermittently until her singing career began in 1957. The house serves as a proud testament to Patsy's love of family. Her devoted and influential relationship with her mother and their drive and determination launched Patsy's career. The house, furnished with some personal items, appears as when Patsy and her family lived there.

Our Mission and What We're About

Established in 1995, Celebrating Patsy Cline, Inc. (CPC), is a nonprofit corporation committed to its mission: "To Preserve and Perpetuate The Legacy of Patsy Cline and Her Music".

At the core of a phased-in Winchester, Virginia presence, CPC is currently working to restore the Patsy Cline's Historic House at 608 South Kent Street to its original appearance, circa 1950, when Patsy lived there with her mother and siblings. The Historic House will portray the story of Patsy's Winchester years, the lives of others associated with her, and events that were pivotal to her career. CPC is presently raising funds to restore and interpret the Historic House and its grounds so it can be opened for public tours and special events.

Future plans include honoring Patsy Cline and her music through the establishment of a Patsy Cline Museum in Winchester, Virginia. The museum will chronicle all of the milestones of Patsy Cline's passionate and poignant life story. It will feature images, related sounds, and moving pictures of her era, creating both a soundscape and visual tapestry of her life and singing career.

Gift Shop:

Uniquely commissioned Patsy Cline Historic House gifts and souvenirs are available for sale at the end of each tour. Visits to the gift shop area will be permitted when tours are not being conducted.
