7. Robert Johnson's Grave
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 21 reviews
Reviewed By Koakie - Apple Valley, United States
The story of the Delta Blues legend Robert Johnson and his unique place in American culture is incredibly unique and truly fascinating! This cemetery is small, so his grave is easy to find at the back of the cemetery (the other grave markers are interesting to view too!) and a very weathered Blues Trail marker at the church/cemetery entrance is quite informative. There are flowers, notes and other items scattered around his grave (and several discarded liquor bottles!). His grave is located under a giant pecan tree, is quite peaceful and beautiful - and all four members of our visiting group felt a positive and somewhat mysterious "spiritual vibe" while visiting his grave. This is definitely a "must see' while visiting the historically rich and fascinating Greenwood, Mississippi area - so much history for anyone interested in Blues Music & Civil Rights!
