The site is one of three purported burial locations for Johnson, who died under enigmatic circumstances in 1938 at the age of 27. The marker not only honors his contributions to blues music but also serves as a pilgrimage destination for fans and historians, celebrating the enduring impact of his haunting vocals and masterful guitar work on the evolution of American music.
