(Webster) The Wabash County Historical Museum in Wabash, Indiana named its theater the "Crystal Gayle Theater" to honor the music star's influence and connection to the small town in Northern Indiana.

"It's so humbling to return to Wabash and feel the love from the community. They always welcome me home with open arms. I'm so proud to be here and be part of this incredible museum," Gayle said.

The youngest of eight children, including Loretta Lynn, Gayle was born Brenda Gail Webb in Paintsville, Kentucky. As the coal mines closed, her family left the area to find work and moved to Wabash, Indiana.

The updated exhibit features a replica of Gayle's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, 1986 American Music Award for Favorite Female Country Vocalist, "When I Dream" gold album, tour gown and tour book, 2005 Indiana Living Legend Award along with various pictures and memorabilia.

"Our community has a strong affection for Crystal Gayle and her connection to many local families and this will be a great event for them to reconnect with her and enjoy the museum," said Mitch Figert, Executive Director.

The expanded exhibit will allow the museum to further highlight Crystal Gayle's accomplishments which will also include memorabilia to be added inside the theater.
