Historic Daniel Boone Home

The 1800s village and Boone family home were very interesting & worth a trip to see. The guide was very well informed and pleasant. However, I’m giving the whole experience 3 stars due to poor organization/​customer service at the gift shop & ticket area, the unnecessarily complex fee structure, and the extremely annoying way the ticket sellers kept repeating: «that’s not included in the ticket price» and «I don’t know how to do that.» The house tour ticket should include the self tour of the 1800s village (you can’t get inside them anyway). I waited over 15 min to buy a book & CD at the end of my tour. There were only 6 other people in the shop, a group of 4 trying to buy tickets and a group of 2 trying to buy T-​shirts. There were 2 clerks, yet these transactions were still in process when I finally walked out.

Really liked the information we got on the guided tour !! She answered any question we asked !! My father didn’t ant to go but after going he said it was great !! Very nice and friendly people !!!

A little mis leading. This was actually Daniel Boone’s sons home. Daniel actually lived in this home the last 7 years of his life. Getting over that!!! We got the combination tour, Boone house & village. I’m a veteran so I got in free. What a deal. Had to pay for the wife. Both tours were excellent. Both guides were very knowledgable and very courteous. No pictures inside the Boone house but ok to take pics everywhere else. If your in the area this is well worth the trip here. We drove 1 ½ hrs from Owensville. Beautiful countryside.

What a beautiful place!
I couldn’t quite remember who Daniel Boone was, so I was a tad bit nonchalant about heading all the way out to visit this site. However, I was so glad I did!
The grounds were beautiful, the gardens well-​kept, and the staff, guides and volunteers were very nice. As another reviewer mentioned, they know their stuff and did not just list off a bunch of facts from FAQ cards. Random questions were asked by a certain person I am related to, and the guides were eager to answer.
We did the combination tour, which was one hour of the various buildings on the ground and another hour of the actual Boone House. I recommend doing the tours, because you can’t actually enter any buildings otherwise.
My favorite part of the tour was entering the white church on the grounds tour. Absolutely stunning inside!
This a nice place to stop if you enjoy history or are visiting the various wineries that are within the region. It is a very country road, filled with curves and single lanes in each direction, though it’s only 5 miles off the main road. Well worth the visit!

We visited the Historic Daniel Boone Home on a whim, and were glad we did! It was quite a drive to get out to the place, and we almost got lost a time or two, but it was well worth the effort.
While the museum’s main feature is the home that Daniel Boone lived in at the end of his life, it also has many other historic buildings to tour. You can do a self-​guided tour, or (and this is the one I recommend) you have the option of taking a guided tour. The guided tour actually takes you through most of the buildings and they are not afraid to allow you to touch many of the items. In fact, they host youth camps there and actually use many of the historic tools in the way they were intended to be used! This is a living, breathing, working museum!!!
Daniel Boone’s home is a separate tour and is very interesting. The tour guides definitely know their stuff! I was impressed by all the questions they answered. And seeing the home and other buildings truly brought history to life.
If you are in the Missouri, do not miss visiting this place!

So I will admit this right off the bat that I am a huge history nerd. That said I was excited to go and see Daniel Boone’s home. It was in fact, yes fact, really neat. There was actually a lot to be learned there that would appeal to those who are not so much of a history buff.
Going to Daniel Boone’s home gave you an insight into the life of one of America’s most beloved people in our history. Seeing where and how he lived does so much more than the pages of a history book, not that history books do not do anything or anything like that, but seeing how he lived and where he finally settled is really interesting.
You can see the home by a guided tour in which the people leading you through actually know what they are talking about and are not spouting off a list of words that the they memorized from note cards. One of the areas on the tour that I enjoyed was the kitchen. There I learned there silverware and dishes were made so that if needed, they could have used as ammunition if things got a little hairy at the Daniel Boone homestead.
