(AP) - The museum dedicated to George Jones will open almost two years to the day since his death.

Jones' widow, Nancy, says the museum will open April 24 in downtown Nashville. That weekend will also mark the launch of White Lightning Moonshine, developed in a partnership between Jones' estate and Silver Trail Distillery.

"White Lightning" was Jones' first number-one country hit in 1959.
