Across the road from Boles Field is located a National Hall of Fame Cemetery of Fox Hounds. A large memorial erected in memory of Dawson Stride, a fox hound owned by Hinkle Schillings of Center, was the beginning of this cemetery in 1941. Dawson Stride was considered as one of the greatest of fox hounds and the memorial was erected as a tribute to him from many friends among fox hunters of the United States.

Since 1941, 21 smaller markers have been added in appreciation of other noted fox hounds. Owners of these hounds are from 11 states and each marker carries a brief history of the hound. This cemetery is unusual, attractive and well-kept. This may be the only National Fox Hound Cemetery you will ever visit. Take your camera (in Shelbyville, turn East on FM 417, then to 2694. Turn right to Boles Field.)
