The Carter Family Memorial Music Center
 The Carter Family Memorial Music
Center, a non-profit organization, serves fans and supporters of old-time
country and folk music through the presentation of weekly performances at
the Carter Family Fold, in Hiltons, Virginia. It also honors the memory of
the first family of country music, the legendary Carter Family (A.P. Carter,
Sara Carter, and Maybelle Carter), whose first
recordings (in 1927) are credited with giving birth to the commercial
country music industry. The Carter Family Memorial Music Center was founded
and is directed by Janette Carter, daughter of A.P. and Sara, who
with Sara's cousin Maybelle, comprised the original Carter Family.
This is the official Website of The Carter Family as well as that of The
Carter Fold and The Carter Family Memorial Music Center. Please visit us
often as we add information and photographs that help tell the story of this
remarkable family. |
