One is located on Stovall Road at a cabin believed to have been lived in by McKinley Morganfield, also known as [[Muddy Waters]]. Morganfield supposedly lived there from 1915 until 1943, while he worked on the large Stovall cotton plantation, before moving to Chicago after mistreatment at the hands of a Stovall overseer.{{citation needed|date=November 2014}} Another Blues Trail marker is located at the Riverside Hotel, which provided lodging to blues entertainers passing through the delta.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.atlantamagazine.com/uploadedFiles/Atlanta/Travel/November07%20Travel.pdf |title=Great Southern Getaways β Mississippi |website=Atlantamagazine.com |access-date=May 31, 2008 |last=Cloues |first=Kacey |archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20080918201642/http%3A//www%2Eatlantamagazine%2Ecom/uploadedFiles/Atlanta/Travel/November07%2520Travel%2Epdf |archive-date=September 18, 2008 |url-status=dead |df=mdy }}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.msbluestrail.org/blues_trail/ | title=Mississippi Blues Commission β Blues Trail | website=Msbluestrail.org | access-date=May 28, 2008}}</ref> In 2009, a marker devoted to Clarksdale native [[Sam Cooke]] was unveiled in front of the New Roxy Theater.
