Celebrity Estates
We offer professional appraisals of entire estate holdings, assessments of interests from collector audiences and liquidation options. These options included finding proper homes such as Museums, public establishments and/or private collectors for stated memorabilia, all the while maintaining the integrity of the estate and its holdings for future generations to enjoy. In cases where the opportunities are present we provide booking arrangements for estate family members who have stories to share in seminar and edutainment based environments. Past celebrity estates with formal appraisals include the estates of Jimmie Rodgers, Keith Whitley, Hank Snow, Marty Robbins and for Foundations including the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Roy Acuff Foundation.
Permanent Exhibit Facilitations
The Honky Tonk Hall of Fame pulls out all the stops with historic, elaborate, breathtaking, one-of-a-kind eye-candy for public consumption. President, Stephen M. Shutts initially provided artifacts with design ideas to such establishments as Dick Clark's American Bandstands, Alabama Grill Restaurants, Country Casino and Hollywood Casinos to name a few. Today the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame can provide artifacts and entire theme decorating concepts for Casinos, Lobbies, Restaurants, Clubs, Office Board Rooms and Family Home Theatres. One artifact to an entire collection.
Tours and Touring Concepts
The Honky Tonk Hall of Fame & Rock-N-Roll Roadshow wrote the book on the exhibit touring. Three consecutive years touring with the Brooks & Dunn Neon Circus & Wild West Show and facilitation of Hugh Hefner's Playboy archives for the 50'th Anniversary Playboy Tour have established the Honky Tonk Hall of Fame as the "go-to's" for touring exhibits. We have provided edutainment based temporary exhibits for State Fair, Casino and Shopping Mall audiences across America. Have your own collection and /or exhibit?
