Efforts to create the museum began in earnest in 1980, when members of the Muscle Shoals Music Association came together and formed a special board charged with creating a museum to honor Alabama’s great musicians. In 1987, Alabama voters approved a special bond which financed much of the museum's construction. A crowd of 35,000 attended the museum's dedication on July 26, 1990, a celebration that included performances by many leading musicians from the state of Alabama.
