Legacy and Honors
- In 1836, Boxley’s two oldest sons, Thomas and Addison, founded Boxleytown about four miles (6 km) to the northeast of the Boxley cabin on the old Lafayette Trace. This was a significant road for decades. In the 1830s a state road had been routed to the south that had formerly run across George Boxley’s property.
- 2007 – The restored logs of the George Boxley cabin were reassembled on the original foundation on Pioneer Hill in Sheridan’s Veterans Park. The Boxley Cabin has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
