PEONY TRAIL. In 1947 Edwin B. LYONS, remembered for the E. B. LYONS INTREPRETATIVE CENTER bearing his name, established Dubuque's famous "peony trail" in memory of his wife. Through a trust fund, he fulfilled his wife's dream with a trail of peony plants on the islands along two miles of Grandview Avenue and in city parks.
