Abstract:

The Andy Griffith museum in Mount Airy sits next to the Andy Griffith Playhouse, about a half-mile from the actor’s boyhood home. Officially opened late September, the museum boasts the largest collection of Griffith memorabilia. The museum collection comes from a collector named Emmett Forrest, and donations from other actors.
