Country music has a long and rich history, and some of that history is documented in homes that have become part of the fabric of country music. Some of country music’s most famous artists have purchased historic homes, while others have lived in homes made historic by their famous residents.
The list of country music stars’ most historic homes relies heavily on artists from the classic era, including Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, George Jones and Tammy Wynette, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson and more.
These artists have all left behind stunning homes as part of their legends, but some contemporary country stars also reside in historic homes.
Trisha Yearwood, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are also among the country singers who have lived in historic homes. Check them out in the photos below.
