You can immerse yourself in musical history on this interactive outdoor exhibit as you marvel at the larger-than-life statues, and hear the words and music of the Man-in-Black himself play through an intelligently designed smartphone app as you explore each piece.Įach art work along the trail has it’s own story. Because the trail will also be home to eight awe inspiring fine-art sculptures inspired by the legacy of Johnny Cash. But that’s not all you’ll find along the trail. Go for a walk or bike ride along the Johnny Cash Trail in Folsom and you will experience breathtaking views of Folsom Lake, the American River, and sweeping vistas of the Sierra Nevadas and beyond. The City of Folsom is paying tribute to the legacy of Johnny Cash’s live performance at Folsom Prison and the impact it had on the city with an incredible project that brings fine art, music, history, and the raw natural beauty of Northern California together along the Johnny Cash Trail. It’s an event that continues to inspire a new generation of fans today, and one that has inspired a one-of-a-kind project that could only be found in Folsom. It may have been nearly fifty years since Johnny Cash took to a prison stage to record a live performance in front of an audience of inmates and guards, but that single event was the turning point that revived the musician’s career and made Folsom Prison the most well-known institution in the world.
