Description
Nearly 200 years old, the Daniel Boone Home is large, even by today's standards. Rising four stories, the site where the famous pioneer explorer once lived has seven fireplaces, a ballroom on the top floor, and walls that are two-and-a-half-feet thick. Set on the campus of Lindenwood University in St. Charles, the Boone Home also features a village of similarly restored 19th-century structures, from homes to a chapel to a schoolhouse. Although Daniel Boone may be mostly remembered as a Kentuckian, his 1799 move to Missouri--which was not part of the United States at that time--is indelibly remembered at this historic site.
