visitors will be able to step through the door of the memorial house and back in time some six decades for a glimpse of how virginia "ginny" patterson hensley lived from her mid-teens to mid-20s, as she emerged from small-town obscurity to become one of music's most enduring and influential superstars.
"the fact that her music seems timeless brings a whole new group in every generation that keeps her alive," said cline's daughter,

"her career was a small amount of years, and she had lots of accolades, but i don't think she imagined the things that would come after she died."
cline's husband, charlie dick of nashville, said patsy's premature death at age 30 and the question of how much more she might have accomplished is "part of the mystique" that continues to fuel interest in her life and career. cline's sophisticated, genre-defying voice also explains her iconic status, he said.
"her voice was the first of that type in country music,

in fact, cline biographer douglas gomery said many of cline's hit records made both the country and pop charts.
"it's really complex music," said gomery, a retired university of maryland media studies professor, resident scholar at the library of american broadcasting and author of patsy cline: the making of an icon.
for decades,

the public's ongoing fascination with the first female solo artist inducted into the country music hall of fame prompted a group of winchester residents to establish the nonprofit celebrating patsy cline inc, which purchased and renovated the home.
"there's no museum for her, so this is the actual place that she lived the longest in her short life," said gomery, who also is celebrating patsy cline's historian. "she really made the transition from amateur singer to professional singer when she lived there."
"i think when you go into the house, you will kind of feel like this is a snapshot of what it would have been like to visit when mom lived there," fudge said.
celebrating patsy cline spent about $100,000 renovating the house and equipping it with appliances and furniture intended to replicate the way the home looked when the singer lived there. only a few items are original.
