Daniel Boone Home

The Daniel Boone Home is a historic limestone residence in St. Charles County, Missouri, featuring multiple levels, stone walls, and a central chimney. These elements represent American frontier architecture from the early 1800s.

American frontiersman Daniel Boone, who explored Kentucky, spent his final years in this residence from 1799 until his death in 1820. The house became a meeting point for settlers and travelers during his time there.

The property preserves furnishings and objects from the period that show how frontier families spent their daily routines in the early 1800s. Visitors can trace how households functioned with simple tools and materials.

The site offers guided tours through the main building, surrounding historic village structures, and an interpretive center with educational displays. The paths are mostly level, but some rooms require stairs.

Limestone blocks for construction were individually cut from nearby quarries and transported by oxen teams over several months. Each stone was hand-fitted on site to match the walls.
