4. Daniel Boone Home & Boonesfield Village

DEFIANCE.   Appalachian pioneer Daniel Boone settled in Missouri towards the end of his life and lived in this four-story house with his wife and extended family. Remarkable even now, the structure boasts a ballroom on the top floor and limestone walls that are 2½-feet thick. Behind the house, a living history village features a chapel, schoolhouse, woodworker's shop, and milliner's shop; more additions are planned. Tours commence with a short film about Boone, after which groups explore the house and Boone's personal possessions.   (© 10Best)

Probably the most historic site in Missouri. Not only is Daniel Boone's Home located there, but also his brother Squire Boone's Home, the Zephaniah Sappington/John Dressel Home, the Flanders Callaway/Jemima Boone Home, the Newton Howell Home, Peace Chapel and many other historic buildings. Special events are held during the year with historic interpreters on hand to answer questions. Daniel Boone & John Filson usually make appearances at every special event. The 1800's Christmas Candlelight Tour is truely a not to be missed event.
