Minglewood Mural Pathway Marker

The Grateful Dead sang "Minglewood Blues" a song about Dyersburg, written by Noah Lewis a Dyer County native. Minglewood was a logging town located west of Dyersburg, TN near the Obion River. Although the town no longer exists, its memory continues through the music of Noah Lewis. Lewis wrote "The Minglewood Blues," recorded in 1928 with the band "Gus Cannon and the Jug Stompers." Lewis' song was later adopted and featured by the Grateful Dead on their first album. The Minglewood Mural celebrates Noah Lewis, his music, and Dyer County's blues legacy.
