Worldwide Recognition
In addition to being added to the Country Music Hall of Fame, Rogers also saw his great work rewarding him the coveted Hollywood Walk of Fame Star. He was recognized three times for his work in film, television, and radio media.
Many, however, believed it was a bit extreme, but seeing the many successes he had, it was all worth it. After all, he received the credit for the three categories because he had put a lot into it from working in a factory to help support his family to become a household name for many.

A Legacy
In 1967, a museum was set up to pay tribute to Rogers and his wife and to help others re-live the lives of the legends. The Roy Rogers and Dale Evans museum consisted of a wide array of memorabilia that included a collection donated by Roy Rogers that he started gathering after his retirement.
There are multiple artifacts of Rogers’ career to include statues of Rogers’legendary horse, Trigger, and his famous dog Bullet. However, the museum closed its doors in 2009 when they were losing out on the number of visitors they used to receive.
