Daniel Boone Homestead
Daniel Boone Homestead, Colonial heritage site in Berks County, Pennsylvania.
The Daniel Boone Homestead features a stone house with Georgian architectural elements, surrounded by 579 acres of preserved colonial landscape and woodland.
Built in 1734, the residence was the birthplace of American frontiersman Daniel Boone, who later became an explorer and settler in Kentucky during the 18th century.
The homestead includes a blacksmith shop, sawmill, and colonial craft demonstrations that reflect the daily activities of Pennsylvania German settlers in the 1700s.
Visitors can take guided tours of the main house and outbuildings every Saturday and Sunday between 11:00 AM and 3:00 PM, with special group arrangements available.
The site contains the original rifle shop where Daniel Boone learned gunsmithing skills from his father, featuring period-accurate tools and equipment from the 1750s.
