Great music lives forever
and we proudly honor the musical legacy of Cleveland County natives Don Gibson and Earl Scruggs. The Don Gibson Theatre honors country music singer/songwriter Don Gibson who wrote music performed by Patsy Cline, Ray Charles, Elvis and countless others.
The Earl Scruggs Center: Music & Stories of the Carolina Foothills celebrates the tradition and innovation of this renowned banjo player. His development of a unique 3-finger playing style continues to influence music around the world. The legacy of these two musical legends will live on and be cultivated through the projects of Destination Cleveland County, a non-profit organization made up of passionate citizens committed to preserving the culture of Cleveland County.
