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 1941. 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.
