Today we’re at Daniel Boone national historic site out in St. Charles county Missouri. Come along with me on my self-guided tour.
This is the home of Nathan Boone, Daniel Boone’s son. Daniel lived here with his son from March of 1813 until his death in September of 1820.
This is the home of squire Boone, Daniel’s younger brother. He accompanied Daniel and Rebecca to Missouri in 1799.
This is the home of Flanders Callaway and his wife Jemima Boone, Daniel Boone’s daughter. Flanders crossed the Cumberland gap with Daniel Boone. This park is not only home to Daniel Boone history, but other structures that are historical in the Saint Louis area.
The Sappington Dressel house was built between 1806 and 1808 on Gravois Road in St. Louis. It was home to Zephaniah Sappington, son of John Sappington, a well-known revolutionary war veteran.
This is the home of Newton Howell, who accompanied the general William Clark of Lewis and Clark westward to construct Fort Osage.
Old peace chapel was initially located in a New Mele, which is about five miles from its current location. It was built in the mid-1800s and was originally a general store in the dance hall. The building was purchased and remodeled and opened as a church.
Each building on the site has been moved here from within 50 miles and dates back to the 1800s collectively.
The buildings represent a pioneer village of that time period. These buildings include a dressmakers shop, a pottery shop, a carpenter shop, a smithy’s, a general store, a surveyor shop, and a grist mill.
Contrary to popular opinion that it’s in LaSalle Park, the historic Daniel Boone home in Lindenwood park is a great place to take a step back in time and learn a little local history. Thanks for joining me today. Until next time this is Jon, happy hiking and keep on trucking.
