The Cash home was built in 1934 in Dyess in northeastern Arkansas, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) northwest of Memphis, Tennessee. The house and 40 acres (16 hectares) were provided to the Cash family as part of a government economic recovery program during the Great Depression.
Preservation Program spokesman Mark Christ told the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that a final decision on whether the properties are included on the list will be made by the National Park Service.
