The remains of the cabin
from Stovall Farms where Muddy Waters lived during his days
as a sharecropper and tractor driver are displayed in the
gallery. Musicologist Alan Lomax recorded Muddy on the front
porch of this shack for the Library of Congress in 1940. Best
known for electrifying the blues in Chicago, Muddy is represented
by posters, photographs, and a life-size wax statue, displayed
along with one of his electric guitars and ZZ Top’s "Muddywood" guitar,
crafted from one of the cabin’s timbers.
