SEE MORE IN:
The Roy Orbison Museum is an intimate shrine to a rock‑n‑roll legend. Wink was Roy’s childhood home after his family moved there in 1946. It’s where the stubby‑haired, thick‑glasses pre‑teen formed the Wink Westerners and played local honky‑tonks before skyrocketing to fame.
A tiny, one‑room storefront-style museum features a treasure trove of Roy Orbison relics: early yearbooks, band photos, records, posters, and rare personal memorabilia. Don’t miss the pair of his iconic Ray‑Ban sunglasses. His recently rediscovered first guitar is showcased.
Roy Orbison’s voice, once echoing through West Texas, still resonates. It’s a testament not just to Orbison’s global impact, but to Wink’s fierce pride in its favorite son
