He lived from 1905-1972, and today the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame/Tex Ritter Museum is located in the Hawthorne-Clabaugh-Patterson House in Carthage. The museum opened in 1993 in honor of Ritter, but expanded in 2002 to include friends of his as well as other Texas-born country music legends.

In 2004, it expanded to add a Jim Reeves display that includes radio equipment from Reeves’ radio station, KGRI in Henderson.
