Historic Daniel Boone and Boonesfield Vlg

The Daniel Boone home tour is a great place to learn more about local history and about how people lived in the past. Learning by experiencing first hand has the greatest impression and the Daniel Boone home is an enjoyable place to tour. The home site has not only the home built by Boone and his sons but many other buildings from the same time period have been saved from around the state, moved to the Boone home site and restored. This gives an impression of what a village would have been like during Boone's time. The tour guides offer many details about how the Boone's lived their lives and help visitors get a real feel of the "luxuries" Boone and his family had. The tour is a bit expensive when an entire family goes but it is a great learning tool. more

Here you can see museum pieces like furniture in a special guided tour. There is also a movie as part of the tour that they filmed at the home. The four-story home was hand-built with limestone and black walnut by the Boone family over seven years. The house resembles Daniel's birthplace in Pennsylvania and other family residences in Devon, England. The house was home to Daniel, his wife Rebecca and their ten children. It's a beautiful home and very neat to see. They do special events in the fall and during Christmas. more
