Historic marker

The Mississippi Blues Commission placed a historic marker at the Peavine Railroad site intersection with Highway 446 in Boyle, designating it as a site on the Mississippi Blues Trail. The marker commemorates the original lyrics of famed

blues artist Charlie Patton's "Peavine Blues", which describes the railway branch of the Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad which ran west from Dockery Plantation to Boyle[8]. A common theme of blues songs was riding on the railroad, which was a metaphor for travel and escape.[9]
