Camp Boyle was located on the outskirts of Columbia Compiled and edited by Mike Watson Adair County Historian Camp Boyle was named for Brigadier General Jeremiah T. Boyle, who, in January 1862 was commander of the 11th Brigade of the Department of the Ohio. Sometimes called Camp Jerry Boyle, the camp was located on the outskirts of Columbia, Adair County, Kentucky, across Russell Creek, the road that lead toward Campbellsville, eventually crossing the Green River at Tebb's Bend. Today, the bulk of the camp lies to the right of highway 55 North as one leaves Columbia. It is not now known just how large the camp was, nor how many acres along Russell Creek were encompassed by the ever expanding and contracting camp, but it ran well up the creek, perhaps as much as a mile.

There are much more deserving groups who need funding.
