Moon Lake has a literary history as well as Uncle Henry's Place appearing in a number of Tennessee Williams's dramas. Williams knew it well. Not only was the club property owned by a cousin, but as a boy he had been a frequent guest, accompanying his grandfather, the Reverend Dakin on parish calls throughout the county. The club was finally shut down by its own patrons after they learned the gambling franchise was tied to the Chicago mob. The building still stands and is the location of Uncle Henry's Place, a mere ghost of its former self. Uncle Henry's Place is the host of the Clarksdale, MS annual Tennessee Williams Festival usually held in mid-October of each year.
