I had the most amazing time at the Daniel Boone Home!! I did the tour with Lois and she was fantastic and so kind and knowledgeable. Daniel Boone was such an interesting man and I really enjoyed learning about his life and legacy here in Missouri. So many Americans owe him gratitude for the pathway he forged for our ancestors. I definitely recommend this place, the tour, and the beautiful grounds on which it sits.

Walking tour, self guided is appreciated. The buildings are locked when there are no staff present. Brochure with maps and explanations are set by the venue fireplace and in front of the gift shop. Restrooms were available. Can’t wait to revisit on a scheduled reenactment day!

The site has an interesting collection of historical buildings. Most were closed and there wasn't much to do besides look at stuff and read the pamphlet. The interpretive materials largely ignored Indigenous peoples' perspectives on foreign invasion. A more nuanced and historically accurate approach would consider how one group's hero can be another group's villain through the life of Daniel Boone.

Our visit to the Damien Boone Home was an exceptional experience. From the cordial welcome, the engaging and very informative tour of the home provided by Nathan and Nolan, to our independent exploration of the. beautifully reconstructed/restored historical buildings comprising the village, it was a thoroughly delightful afternoon. I especially appreciated Nathan’s incisive commentary that so effectively ties together the design and features of the home and furnishings with the history of Boone’s life and the geopolitical conditions that brought him and his family to eastern Missouri. I highly recommend a visit to Daniel Boone Home to local residents and visitors alike.

My girlfriend and I went to check it out on a nice Spring Saturday and were greeted by friendly staff in the Gift shop. We toured the park for a little while until the next tour of the main house. Our guide, Nolan, was very friendly and told us all about the home and the history behind it and the land, and even some fun stories from the Boone family. I recall coming here a long time ago during my childhood for a fieldtrip during elementary or middle school, and the park seems to be well preserved and maintained, even after all those years. We had a great experience and will definitely be back in the future to check out the rest of the buildings and park, and are excited to take our future kiddos when we decide to have them someday.
