North Carolina Music Hall of Fame

The North Carolina Music Hall of Fame is a museum featuring exhibits, photographs, and memorabilia celebrating musicians from the state across various genres and time periods. The space showcases both well-known and emerging artists from different musical styles.

The museum was founded in 1994 and initially located in Thomasville before moving to Kannapolis in 2009. The new location is housed in a restored historic jail building.

The institution honors musicians and music professionals who shaped the state's sound across different genres and decades. Visitors discover how these artists contributed to the broader musical landscape.

The museum is located on Dale Earnhardt Boulevard and offers free admission during business hours. The building is shared with a motorsports collection, making it easy to explore both attractions in one visit.

Artists can only be inducted if they were born in North Carolina or have lived in the state for at least ten years after starting their music career. This specific requirement ensures that only those with the strongest ties to the region are recognized.
