the Everly Brothers during their childhood years in Shenandoah 1945 to 1953. Don and Phil Everly lived with their family in this house at 803 Sixth Avenue and it was relocated here in 2006 and dedicated in 2010 as the first and only Everly Brothers historic house museum. In Shenandoah, Don and Phil
developed their musicianship and world-renowned close-harmony singing alongside their parents Ike and Margaret as

Because of Sheryl the ranch’s historic significance was recognised within Historic Preservation circles. All we need now is for us to raise the funds to provide a Historic Marker to commemorate it’s inclusion on the register and hopefully see the owners finally make good there promises to protect and restore it." -Lesley Pilling, Founder and Director of the Circle G Foundation
