Wayside Marker for Camp Boyle, Columbia, KY 2012-01-26 - 910 Campbellsville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. A Wayside Marker: in the drive at 910 Campbellsville Road, Columbia, KY, commemorates Camp Boyle. The marker tells the story of Camp Boyle, later Camp Gilbert. On the left hand side can be seen just a few of artifacts found on the farm. Joe Lynn Barbee, the grandson of Joe R. Barbee, said that at one time, before the farm was scoured with a metal detector and taken away, relics of the Civil War were regularly found on the place. Family lore is that one major battle was fought around a ravine on the farm, and that other skirmishes took place on the Campbellsville Pike, at least as far north as Day & Day Mill's present location. "When I was a kid," he said, "we found relics of the battle every year when our garden was plowed." Chris Bennett has suggested raising $2,500 to have to place a Kentucky Historical Society marker on the site, pending approval by the Society. With very little promotion, at least $525 is pledged to seeing the marker a reality. Permalink | Comments?
