Drive to Beale St specifically to see Handy’s home, the birth is the blues. We arrived at 2:30 on a Saturday. There was a sign in the door that said they were out to lunch until 2:00. But the 2 was crossed out and they changed it to a 3. The door was partially opened but the door was locked. So we went to Beale St for a drink. One hour later we returned…. Still locked with lights on but no one letting us in. The sign also said the house closed at 4:00. So we took this photo and headed back to our hotel. So much for blues Heritage.

I didn’t know he was the father of blues. It was great learning history about his childhood. What an honor to have a statue in the middle of Beale Street for him.

メンイスの繁華街、ビールストリール沿いにあります。手前には銅像が建った公園があります。そばの公園では夕方からライブが行われてます。

This house is called a shotgun house, because it is so small you could fire a shotgun through it. If you walk past it and don’t see the sign you would not even notice it. W. C. Handy was not born in this house, nor is the house in the original location. The house had been moved from its original location in Memphis to Beale Street to be near the tourist area. Plus it was extensively renovated. It is essentially one big room with walls painted white and some photos on the walls and some artifacts. If you were led in here blindfolded and not told what it was, you would never guess. This is not everyone’s cup of tea and a little pricey for what you see. It takes about twenty minutes to see it and hear the story from the guide. There are steps to get into the front door. They have a handicapped ramp leading to the back door but the day we were there, the guide did not have the key to open up the back door, so my wife, who walks with a cane, had to climb the stairs. Call me silly but if you are going to the trouble and expensive of building a ramp for handicapped people, get a key for the back door. Also, they do not accept credit cards. This was the only place I encountered during a week in Memphis that did not accept credit cards. When I travel I do not take a lot of cash and like to conserve it as much as possible. And they do not allow photos. If you are really into W. C. Handy and if you are on Beale Street already then this place is interesting, otherwise, there are other music museums in Memphis that give more bang for the buck.

Prior to going to the W C Handy home/museum, we called to make certain they were open. We were told they would be open until 5pm. We told them that we would be there in 45 minutes. When we arrived, the door was locked. We called again to find out that attendant was not there today .

Only a true jazz junky would seek out W. C. Handy's home at the end of Beale Street next to the police station. A nice moment in history placed in a location that is accessible.

One would assume this would be a tour where you walk in, see his house, hear a bit about him and walk out. I was pleasantly surprised to get a history of Beale Street along with learning about W.C. Handy.

Lovely afternoon downtown so we thought we would checkout the house. Hours posted indicate it should be open, but the house was locked up with nobody to be found. We called the number posted and it just rang. Very disappointing.

The home had been moved here from its original location and we almost walked right past it rounding the corner onto Beale Street. It is tucked back in a parking area near the corner of 4th & Beale.

W.C. Handy, the Father of the Blues, lived with his wife and 5 children in this tiny house during his time in Memphis. We were the only ones there that rainy morning, so our informative young docent had plenty of time to fill us in on this memorable musician. Essentially the tour includes 2 rooms: the front room which is decorated in keeping with the time of Handy, with a few personal items, and the back room, which holds many pictures and memorabilia of Handy's life, including framed copies of the many, many compositions rewrote (most notable of which is 'St. Louis Blues".
We saw pictures of and were told about his children, how his business progressed and grew, and saw many pictures of Handy in different setting/activities. Our docent filled in the background of this talented man and made our visit pleasant and rewarding.

Appears to be $6 - providing you can get someone to show up. House has a history of displaying hours they don't honor.
