Johnny Cash’s childhood home opens to the public

Johnny Cash's childhood home has been opened to the public, as part of a bid to boost the town he grew up in. Cash moved into the house in Dyess, Arkansas, in 1935 when he was three. The town was an experiment in president Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal programme, which aimed to help the US economy bounce back from the Great Depression. The Cashes were among 500 families specially selected by the initiative to be given a small home, some farm land, money and a mule to try and rebuild their lives.
