Robert got "buried" in more places than most blues guys. The location of Robert Johnson's grave is only one item on the list of mysteries surrounding his life and untimely death. Recent evidence points to Little Zion as the real FRP. We heard a rumor that the original marker placed at Little Zion in August 2001 was removed to make way for this larger monument. If anyone has a photo of the original black granite headstone we would like to have it. If you know that rumor isn't true, please let us know that, too.
