Historic status for Johnny Cash home?

LITTLE ROCK, Ark.

The boyhood home of country music icon Johnny Cash is being considered as a nominee for inclusion on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Arkansas Historic Preservation Program’s review board will meet next week to consider 14 state properties for nomination to the list of the nation’s historic places, including the Cash home that was built in 1934 in Dyess in northeastern Arkansas, about 30 miles northwest of Memphis, Tenn.

The house and 40 acres were provided to the Cash family as part of a federal government economic recovery program during the Great Depression.

A final decision on whether the property is included on the list will be made by the National Park Service. The home is under the control of Arkansas State University.
