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.
