| Daniel Boone Home & Boonesfield Village |
The Historic Daniel Boone Campus and Boonesfield Village are likely to impress visitors not only with the size of the home but also the scope of the village that is coming to life behind it. The village has expanded to include over a dozen other 19th-century structures, including a chapel and schoolhouse.
The Boone home, nearly 200 years old, is large even by today's standards. It rises four stories -- counting a kitchen and dining room in what might be considered a basement -- with limestone walls that are 2 1/2 feet thick. The home has seven fireplaces and a ballroom on the top floor.
The University's goal is to create a living-history village that reflects the time of the Louisiana Purchase and early statehood, which came for Missouri in 1821, a year after Boone died. |

 | | G. A., Co-op Member | | This is an interesting place, but for older children. There is lots of standing still and listening for long periods of time that would make it hard for the average preschooler. The area also has a variety of hours, so definitely call first to be sure of times. There are different sections of the property also and many have additional fees. I personally found it to be a bit on the expensive side, but then I'm used to a free zoo and art museum also! |
