Summary

Description
English: A renovated CN railway station where young Hank would sometimes seek shelter in, less than 3.5 km/2 miles from his childhood home. Here you’ll find audiovisual displays, artifacts, and memorabilia on the history and heritage of Canadian country music, featuring the legendary Hank Snow, Wilf Carter, Carroll Baker, George Canyon & others. The Centre is also home to the Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame and special exhibit on local railroading history.

Clarence Eugene "Hank" Snow was born on May 9th, 1914 in the sleepy fishing village of Brooklyn, Queens County, on Nova Scotia's beautiful South Shore, just down the tracks from Liverpool.

In the early fifties Hank discovered a young singer, in his mind a country singer, who just emphasized the beat a little more. The young talent's name was Elvis Presley, and Hank took him on as an opening act, and later invited him to the Grand Ole Opry and introduced him to Colonel Parker who eventually became Elvis' Manager.

Hank Snow sold over 70 million records in his career that spanned 78's, 45's, extended 45's, LP's, 8-tracks, cassettes and compact discs.
