Buddy Knox Gravesite
Plains Trail Region
26500 S US Highway 87
Canyon, TX 79015
The gravesite of Buddy Knox, located within Dreamland Cemetery, marks the final resting place of one of early rock-and-roll’s influential yet often overlooked voices. Best known for his 1957 hit “Party Doll,” Knox was part of the wave of West Texas musicians who helped shape the emerging rockabilly sound. Set within one of Canyon’s oldest historic cemeteries—established in the late 19th century and home to many notable regional figures—the site offers a quiet connection to both the artist’s legacy and the broader musical heritage of the Texas Panhandle.
