WINCHESTER, Virginia - Patsy Cline fans curious about the early days of her brief but highly acclaimed country music career will finally be able to do more than just drive by her old house in Winchester and snap a picture.
The Patsy Cline Historic House will open on Tuesday as a memorial to the singer who recorded classics, such as Crazy and I Fall to Pieces, before dying in a plane crash in 1963.
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.
