About the event
Located at the foot of Clinch Mountain in Hiltons, Virginia, the Carter Family Fold is where the sounds of the first family of country music still echo through the hills.
The Carter Family Fold music venue and museum is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the legendary Carter Family, who were pioneers of American country music in the late 1920s. The original group included Alvin Pleasant “A.P.” Carter, his wife Sara Carter, and her sister-in-law Maybelle Carter.
The Carter Family Fold sits on the land of the original Carter Family homestead in the Poor Valley area of Scott County, Virginia. The late Janette Carter, A.P. Carter’s daughter, founded the Carter Family Fold in 1974. The building it still calls home was built in 1976 and opened in 1979. The Carter Family Fold is directed and managed by Janette’s daughter, Rita Forrester.
