The Alabama Music Hall of Fame, first conceived by the Muscle Shoals Music Association in the early 1980s,[2] was created by the Alabama Music Hall of Fame Board, which then oversaw construction of a 12,500 sq ft (1,160 m2) facility after a statewide referendum in 1987.[3] It is located in the town of Tuscumbia, Alabama.
