How can one give to the preservation of this home, and the buildings?
@@shawnaweesner3759 Wonderful question! There are several fundraisers throughout the year as well as other events. Here is a link to its website with more information, cheers! www.sccmo.org/1701/The-Historic-Daniel-Boone-Home

You are a phenomenal host of this house
Thank you my Daddy used to care taker the land before when the Andres owned before Lindonwood got it I was raised in the suvonier shope .... it was Nathans Home Daniel & Rebecca came to live out thier end of life with them & Died in the home... Restored is correct ot was Black Walnut originally before restoration...
Distan member of my family...
As a 4th Great Grandson of Daniel, I find it sad that modern “interpretation” of a historical site like this has to be portrayed with todays political correctness. Case in point; The square holes beside the first story windows had nothing to do with “scaffolding” for the construction of the home, or they would have been filled in when the walls were completed. They are in fact rifle ports, the inside corresponding holes would have been covered up in the 1920’s restoration to make the house more “weather tight”. Historians should never cover up the fact that this house was built on the very frontier of America, on land that was still claimed by many of the native Americans who would see these settlers as interlopers on their land. Therefore the house was built in such a way as to be defendable from attack. It’s a shame the curators of this important historical site feel the need to “sanitize” history.
When I went on a field trip in the 60's they told us they were gun ports.
That is exactly what I thought.. Rifle ports!
PC in this Nation has gone mad.
Dan, my first name is Martha and I AM a 9th generation Martha, mother-daughter, from Daniel Boone's sister, Martha Boone Borland. I live in Dallas TX.
It’s nothing to do with political correctness, but evolving knowledge. There are other stone homes from the period with similar holes. Though I wouldn’t say they definitely weren’t used for scaffolding, I’d bet that they’re some kind of primitive weep hole.
@@ryanthompson4423 It's an old house but not ancient history. Should be something recorded somewhere.
I can't believe that my family lived there with my 6th great-grandfather. I am of Rebecca Boone Goe (my mother's maiden name is Goe) line. It's GREAT to know he was fun! Photos of all this are in my Goe Family Tree BOOK (Yes, we have an entire BOOK for some reason) Y'all be blessed from Houston!
As someone who cuts wood I find it amazing how all the woodwork is done by hand. That's a huge unspoken talent.
How else would they have done it?
I have an 1850 stone house right outside of Gettysburg PA. I have the deed history going back to 1833 when the land was granted to the kids who built the house. You are welcome any time.
I didn’t know Daniel had such a grand home!!!
I thought that he always lived in a log cabin…Beautiful Home !
I believe it belonged to one of his children
@@jeanjackson2324 This was his son Nathan's house. Daniel had a cabin on the property but its remains have yet to be discovered (it's mentioned on a historical map of the site). This IS the house in which Daniel spent his final days.
I thought Daniel Boone pass in 1799. This was his son's house.
Yes. I agree that it was his sons home. Daniel lived there in his final years. Ive alway heard he died penniless.
I'm a HUGE history buff, especially American US history. So for people like me who may never get to travel to Missouri and see Boone's home, THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!! What a blessing that the internet allows us to travel to historical places right from our own homes! Thanks for posting
If you do get to MO to visit Boone's home, go to Mansfield to see Laura Ingalls Wilder's home and make sure you get down to Ste. Genevieve and visit the Bolduc house.
Well said!
Daniel Boone hsd a farm in Pennsylvania.
@@2Ryled yep, there too...where the family came from. Somewhere along the line, he's a distant relative of mine. He moved around. KY tried to claim him as a native son, but he's not.
Daniel Boone had 70 grandchildren. took my grandchildren there one summer, and that was the thing they remembered the most.
Many years ago I took the tour of this house, and the guide said that the holes were for guns to be shot through and that's why the walls were so thick too. They were having Indian wars back then. In fact, one of Daniel Boones daughters was kidnapped for a short time.
I have read that one of his sons was killed by Indians.
Yes but we must rewrite history so it’s not offensive to anyone.
Absolute nonsense. Gunport statements are long debunked.
I was in love with Daniel BOONE. As a child.. I was about 5 yrs old when I watched Daniel Boone on tv.. What a BOONE WHAT A DOER WHAT A DREAM COME TRUE R WAS HE...🚶🎼🎶🎵
I loved that show and the theme song too!
I’m a direct descendant of Daniel Boone. I have toured his home in defiance a few times!
The house that my family and I lived in was built in 1769, before the Declaration of Independence was signed.
The house still stands and my sister lives there with her son.
The city gave my sister a grant so she could do some renovation work on it.
That house brings back so many precious memories every-time I look at it.
I rented a house in CT, built in the 1700s. Still had an earthen floor in the basement, and coal bin, knob and tube wiring, central chimney with cooking fireplace in the back room. It was so cool! I rented it in the 80s.
Such a beautiful and elegant house for 1817 when 80 percent of people lived in log cabins. You can really see the Middle Tennessee architecture in this Missouri house including the mantels, woodwork, Federal Style so popular in KY and TN during that time. Thank you very much for showing it to us. I have never heard of it before. Not only is it beautiful, it has a remarkably warm feeling to it that exudes through the screen. Amazing.
We are so glad that you enjoyed it! The house is even more spectacular in-person and we highly recommend visiting it for a tour if you are ever in the area. Thank you for watching!

It is regrettable more remainders of Davy Crockett's life around his last Tennessee residence, in Lawrenceburg, TN, no longer exist for us...... There, Crockett's village infrastructure -- grist mill, powder mill and distillery -- all washed away in spring flooding. This was a repeat of an earlier experience at his previous location in East TN.....Aside from a close defeat in his last congressional race, largely due to his opposition to Andrew Jackson's policies (Crockett voted against the Indian Removal Act) such devastating financial losses likely helped propel him westward -- to Texas, and ultimately to his heroic death at the Alamo.
@@theelizabethan1 Thank you for that important info! Most of us are lucky or blessed to run into that kind of history online if we can't travel. Maybe someday his Tennessee place could be re-built above the water-line for memory and historical sake!! Andrew Jackson was a man of his times as was Davey Crockett. Jackson wasn't a coward,but I think his personal experiences in many avenues of his life led him to exact possibly judgement and negative action on any he felt to be his enemies- from some of the Native Americans,to the British Army,and people who treated his Wife horribly and hounded her for years. I am not excusing the man for the Trail of Tears,I am saying violent times and experiences breed fears and hates and stuff that if only we had done more like many of the French- become more Metis- it would have been better possibly for us to live together. There were also old grievences between tribes. There is no getting around that either.
This is a beautiful mansion no matter 1817, 1917, or 2017. My ancestors had much bigger families than Boone in the early 1900s, yet they lived in a house a mere fraction of the size.
Many years ago I was there and it’s a beautiful house they took us down into the basement area where he first lived and showed us his muskets !
That is awesome!
I have visited the Boone residence near Reading, Pennsylvania, where Daniel Boone was born. They actually lived in the small basement spring house, which was constructed prior to the larger main house. Some of my dad's ancestors were neighbors of the Boones while they lived there. I also visited Mocksville, North Carolina, which is the location of Daniel Boone's parents' grave site.
Me too and showed some hidden compartments that they hid valuables in. And I think I was told the holes on the outside walls were for defense from indians, for the muskets. Also said the bedrooms were located upstairs because the Indians were scared of stairs
In 1817 a house was never built like this
@@Blox_fruit_master1 I think you mean in 2022 a house would never be built like this.
Daniel is my 6th great uncle....his older brother, Samuel is my 6th great grand father. I enjoyed this.
What a fascinating connection! Glad you enjoyed the video!
@@ThisHouse I did!
Cool!!!!!!
Mine too
Good relatives to have!!!!!🇬🇧🤗
Daniel Boone was my Seventh Great Uncle. Squire Boone my seventh great grandfather, his sister Cassandra Sarah Boone married a Wilcoxen they were my sixth great grandparents ! Love my patriotic family. My first ancestors came on the Mayflower.
wow...wish I could say the same!
Squire is my 5th great grandfather and Daniel is my fifth great uncle.
My wife played the organ for a wedding there in the chapel many years ago. It is original and still had to be pumped by hand. And that spiral staircase to get up to the organ is very narrow.
I cried when I saw you were here! I'm binge watching your show because I'm home sick for St. Louis, but I'm from Winfield. When I was a little girl it was a tiny town with more cows than people and we went to the Boone Mansion on a girl scout trip! I was 7 lol that was 30 years ago, and it still looks exactly the same. I could smell it when you walked in 🥲 Thank you for the beautiful memories ❤
Thank you for watching! We are so glad that these videos mean so much to you!
@@ThisHouse Thank you for reminding me that I come from a beautiful place that I can be proud of 😊 I've live all over the world and our great country, and I can honestly say Missouri is a treasure that the world deserves to know about! I miss so much about it and the St. Louis area. Especially Old Town St. Charles where I found my love for history ❤

Homesick for St. Louis? I don't think you'd recognize how much it's declined. Happiness to me, is seeing St. Louis in the rear view mirror
The list of historical places I want to see in America just keeps growing and growing. What a country!! Save it!!
No it doesn’t
I don't know if it was said in this video but this was Nathan Boone's house and he built it. His father Daniel Boone lived in the house with his son and family until his death. I live in St. Louis and I have visited this beautiful home a couple of times !
There's a village set up on the grounds not original to the property.
The buildings are very old and were brought in from other sources.
My youngest son is related to Daniel Boone through the marriage of President Lincoln's family ( my ex-mother-law was born a Lincoln) to the Boone family.
I just discovered this family history recently on Ancestry ! I don't think that the Boone family is celebrated enough in Missouri...many people who live in Missouri don't know about this part of our history! Thanks so much for bringing this information to your viewers❣️
Daniel Boone, his wife and some other family members are buried nearby on a farm!
Hi Ramona, your son and I are distant cousins! Lol
Daniel and his wife bodies were relocated to KY. He’s buried across the river from the KY capital. I’ve been there, it’s the most beautiful view of the capital. If I remember something happened that Daniel for some reason found he didn’t own any property in KY, including the home he lived. I suspect as the counties were organizing, he didn’t either get notice of taxes or didn’t pay property taxes.
In Missouri the story goes that the grave that was dug up did not belong to Daniel Boone but belongs to someone else so that's what we choose to believe! No hard feelings but guess we'll never know until they do a DNA! 🧐
@@victorialambert8146
My son is descended from the Lincolns that moved to Cape Girardeau Missouri... that would be Elizabeth O'Neal Lincoln and John Lincoln. His grandmother on his father's side was born a Lincoln. They share a Grandfather Mordecai Lincoln with President Abraham Lincoln.
Daniel Boone's family married into President Lincoln's family and two of Paul Revere's daughters are also married into Lincoln's family! It's a small world after all!!
It’s nice to read what other people who had connections through marriage’s and connect with the Boones.
6:12 Interesting how the plumbing is exposed but doesn't distract from the charm. Thank you for the tour!
Beautiful! An introverts dream to live so remotely.
I saw a 200 year old home some what like this with the opening like on this house.The German occupant said they served as vents to prevent moisture from the cold air between the wall from showing up on the interior walls.
That sounds more likely than holes for scaffolding and they probably weren’t down low to let animals in
@@worldboatskiff8709 or maybe the served both these purposes...
Yes, cavity brick homes do have vents to the outside, but they tend to be lower down, about a foot above ground level. They are also covered with a grill to stop rodents from getting in and nesting in the cavity. (I own a 100 yr old cavity brick house ) The ones in this house are closer to shooting when kneeling height.
They were probably rifle ports to guard the house. I work at a museum and that would be my guess.
Kentucky has his boyhood home. Defiance has his final home. Both rose from the forest around them, literally everything done with hand tools. So glad this has been lovingly preserved. Excellent tour. Thanks.
We're glad you enjoyed the tour!
I have lived in both states, but much longer in Missouri. Both states are proud of their Boone history.
Actually, Daniel Boone was born in Oley Valley in the province of Pennsylvania, near Reading, in 1734. He was around 18 when he and his family moved to the Yadkin Valley in the province of North Carolina in 1752. He led the expedition through the Cumberland Gap in 1769, and settled in Boonesborough, Kentucky, in 1775, when he was 41 years old. That said, he raised a lot of kids and grandkids there.
Daniel Boone is my first cousin eight times removed. Which isn't saying much. I reckon most Americans whose ancestors got here before the Civil War are related to him somehow. The Boones, all of them, were a very prolific clan.
@@catrinlewis939 thanks…I was unaware.
No Kentucky was where he lived as a explorer and settler before moving on to Missouri. Think he may have grown up in Pennsylvania. It was all wilderness.
What a fine home. And I love all the stories the man told. I can tell he loves that place. Both men we.re great hosts.
This certainly is a "mansion" for its time, a beautifully constructed, warm home for a large family. And that church... beautiful! Well edited, good music bed, informative, historical mini-docu. excellent tour, Ken, well done!
It appears that Daniel Boone chose that spot to build his house for the rock foundation, it is beautiful, they’ve done a fantastic job, everything is perfect!
A tour guide at this home told me people at the time liked to build near springs. Without refrigeration a springhouse helped preserve food.
Sorry but it's Nathaniel Boone's home Daniel Boone's son.
I beg to differ. I don’t believe those cupboards in the ‘living room’ area were linen presses. In that room china and collectibles would have been displayed as a reflection of his status.
I agree. Linen would not be downstairs. Good China would go in there.
And I agree/disagree. They aren't for linens. Why would they keep the things they need downstairs? 'I'm going to change my frock'. Sound of going downstairs and up again. Daniel Boone was a senator. He didn't need to impress anyone, so I discard the things that need to be dusted in them....plus they have doors. If they were trying to impress anyone it was with that gorgeous wood. The rest of the house isn't highly decorated, they let the materials speak for themselves. The skill necessary to make all of the woodworking was what spoke to people living in log cabins. I love that they even put in narrow, beautiful mantles. I also love that the guide tells us that the Boones consistently live on the edge of territories. It's not what I would consider a status driven family. The skill of these builders is just beautiful
Agree! Those are not clothes presses. Certainly not in that room and highly unlikely to be on the first floor of a home like this.
The family done a very beautiful job building this magnificent home. I don’t think anyone would have done it justice. Thanks for sharing this beautiful home and the history of Daniel Boone.
WOW! I love the black walnut!
Now days we have hearths on most fireplaces, the simple and usefulness of having one on a floor speaks to me. The house my Dad built and I grew up in had the fireplace floor level. Life might have been hard for people in Boone’s day, but the simple life and the stillness in which they lived has to be admired. I wouldn’t mind life slowing down, you get to appreciate things more.
The home I grew up in was similar. We had three generations of family living with us. As Grandmother grew older, we all "chipped in" to help with her care. I recall regularly carrying up a tray for her afternoon "Tea". As well as spending many hours just reading to her, as her eyesight was failing.
I was so excited to see this because Daniel Boone is part of my ancestry on my mom's side. What a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing all the info too.
I feel very honored to be in the presence of so many descendants of an American family.
I love old houses, that one is beautiful with the dark wood and white walls . I love the thick windows seals .its unbelievable how people use to build their homes but this one with the double walls it would stand for a very long time . It would hold up in a hurricane that's for sure. Who ever built this home for Daniel Boone did an excellent job building it for him and his family. Thank you , for share it with all of us I have enjoyed it very much .
Daniel & his son Nathan Boone built this home... and it actually was Nathan's home.. but his dad Daniel lived there with him & his son's family for years till old age
It was only after my Father's death, he passed away at 90. That his younger sister told me that their Mothers Mother as a young girl came up the Mississippi river with Daniel Boone in 1820. As some of the French settlers. I always wondered why Grama had named her three children with French names. Now I know why. Why did I never know this growing up?!! History right in the family ❣️🤗 living in Austin Texas many years myself I'm very familiar with stories about Daniel Boone
French = probably Huguenots who escaped persecution
@@ncbluegrassevents1984 Thank you
Love the real U.S.A. history !!! 1817 ,only 41 years after America was born !!! This is what makes ! AMERICA GREAT !!! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
No you dont and no it’s not
Just beautiful. You can tell he didn’t want it to EVER burn down.
This video should definitely be a jewel in your channel's crown. I feel like I cannot get there fast enough to tour it all myself.
Thank you for the tour! Daniel Boone was one of my ancestors, so it means so much to see his last home and learn so many details about its origin.
I too was there a year or so after it opened to the public, and a few times since. My boys were young, and my brother just two years older, enjoyed the tour very much . My son who is a history buff and I were recently recalling that beautiful day.
Thank you so much for publishing this video. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing and hearing of the details of Daniel Boone's life and his son Nathan's home. Being Daniel and Rebecca Boone's 5th great grand daughter this video is of specific importance to me. I personally have not had the pleasure to visit Missouri although my Dad has been there to visit family when he was younger. We descend from Daniel through his son Nathanial and his wife Olive Van Bibber. Their daughter Jemima Boone (named after Nathanial's sister) is my 3rd great grandmother. The stone and woodwork in the house is incredible! There is something to be said for genetics and talents passed down. My Dad was a stone mason like his Dad, and built beautiful homes in San Diego. My Dad is age 91 this year. So, I guess he may have gotten his genes also from that side of the family. There is a family story about Olive Van Bibber building a chimney in hers and Nathan's first home of mud and sticks. It was said to be the finest around. LOL! Again, thank you for sharing this video with us. Now, I want to make a special trip there to see it.
MISSOURI IS FULL OF HISTORY. AND raw BEAUTY . Jesse James and his gang hideout. There are beautiful rivers caverns caves etc..
The USGS Geological service is located here plus other agencies. Branson The lake of the Ozarks and on and on. Check out the northern lights.
Thank you! For sharing your family stories and history. It's a great reminder of how we are living with each other in some degree of shared history. And yes, genetics do carry abilities.... have seen in my family as well.
Well as they say you learn something new every day. I never knew Daniel Boone had a mansion.
Nor did I.
This was so interesting, great camera work, and the gentleman leading your tour was such a good teacher. I wonder about the double exterior walls, did they know how it would positively effect the home's temperature, hmm.
I want to sit in one of those giant windowsills and read a book!
Yes, of course they knew. That’s exactly why it was built that way.
Yes!
Houses use to be built with an air space in the walls to keep the homes cooler during summer months
Yes. Houses like this took time to build and couldn't be slapped up quickly or built in a factory then moved to site by truck. Craftsmanship, it's called. Intelligent design. People WERE Intelligent back then.
Love the St. Charles County Parks tour guide, real salt of the earth historical sweetheart.
I really like the simplicity of the house. In particular the fireplace surrounds and clothes presses. The colours chosen for the walls are beautiful. Thank you for the video, it’s really interesting.
The wood working details boast a timeless beauty! We are so glad you enjoyed these features!
@@ThisHouse my grandfather, uncle and father were all carpenters.
@@margaretorden7568 My great grandfather was also.
wow, this is the tip of the top of your houses .love seeing how people lived during the early days of our nation.
This house is so beautiful!! Now I know where I got my love of woodwork!! This older generation of craftsmen knew what they were doing!!
I visited in the early '80s and again yrs later after they started putting adding the school house out back. I remember George and Martha Washington's photos and the desk against the wall with hidden compartments in it. The front looks only 2 stories, but the back shows 3 because the house was built into a hillside. I still have the photo.. There are gun holes in the front to ward off Indian attacks. Years later, looking into my genealogy, I found Boone and Washington are distant relatives. We also visited the home of (cousin) Laura Ingalls Wilder which isn't far away in Mansfield.
So beautiful with all those memories! Knowing this is built using hand tools of the past. This is lost to present times. Ty for sharing this history
I love homes like those.were i livetheres a street with beautiful homes.but they were sold to a college. And those kids dont.know the history behinde them and it breaksmy heart to see how they are treated. So thats why i love them.
Hopefully those homes can be saved one day
William is such a poetic tour guide! Thank you for the history lesson.
Cool piece of history, I love it
I had no idea he had such a beautiful home there. He was a tough guy and to live that long back then. He was blessed. Thank you for sharing
This place is just lovely! Thank you for sharing 👍
I love the history of Daniel and Rebecca Boone’s life. Thank you for this!
I don't know how I managed to miss this one! Super great tour, Ken! I adore the chapel. Blue painted ceilings go all the way back to the tombs of ancient Egypt (and beyond). Missouri was a happening place, all through the 19th Century. It's been fun to see a bit more of the state through your videos. The town of Oakhurst, CA, near the entrance to Yosemite, has a 'old building collection', with a school house, Victorian home, log cabin, and jail. Stone Mountain in Georgia has several antebellum homes and outbuildings that have been moved to the site. There's nothing like the sweet smell of old wood. :)
I grew up with the smell of fresh sawn wood. Still 😢 tears me up. My daddy was a carpenter and built homes for wealthy doctors and lawyers but we lived like poor church mice. Wood items are wonderful.
When looking at the windows, you can see how wide the walls were. Wonderful home!
The Daniel Boone Homestead is in Boyertown PA. It and the surrounding land are preserved as part of the original homesteading of the area. A little creek originally ran through the basement!
Wow! When I was a kid back in the 70's our school went on field trips to Daniel Boone's home. All we got to see was a small stone cabin. All my life I thought he lived in a little cabin! Haha! Thank you for showing this. I'm going to have to go back and have a real tour of his actual house! I feel ripped off, but I wouldn't have enjoyed this as much then as I do now.
There is so much we didn't get to show on camera, you can make an entire day out of a trip there! It really is an AMAZING place!
@@ThisHouse Ken, were all of those buildings there? Or have they been moved in from elsewhere?
@@wendyannh great question! The house we toured was there, the buildings in the village were brought in to be preserved.
Same…I don’t remember seeing all this during our field trips
Westward, Ho!
We have family who lived in defiance at that time. I appreciate hearing the context of how remote it was when it was built. We visited but weren’t able to take a tour. We will have to go back. Thanks for posting this!
This house is better built than many of today's brand new $500,000 homes I've seen built today.
I have been there and it is truly an amazing and gorgeous property.
What a pretty Church - inside and out!
I really enjoyed this! Col. Daniel Boone died 1820, his a distant relative Boone to my Farmer family.
A problem with this story is - that is Daniel's son Nathan's home. Daniel did actually die there [in that home] during a famine/winter when sweet potatoes were the only food available. Daniel's real home is about 10 miles away.
Nathan Boone was a politician.
I visited this house in 1he 1980s. At the time there was an older couple who owned the house and gave us a tour. It was very interesting and beautiful. I am from SW VA where D. Boone was in charge of the forts along the Clinch River during the Dunsmore War and where he built the trail into KY. MY G-G Grand Pa was a friend of Boone and hunted with him on occasion and moved with him from NC in 1770s.
Been there several times for a day trip. Enjoyed it each time and glad to see expansion with little church and village. There is always something new to learn here.
Beautiful home especially the black walnut .
I grew up in St. Louis County and recall a couple of visits to the house. The square openings seen on the outside but later covered inside were rifle holes for defense. As a child,nI found that information fascinating and chilling.
What a beautiful home and setting. I know that buildings were white washed, the interiors of castles were as well. The exteriors of castles were painted different colours. Why would s their so little evidence of this in the Boone kitchen. You talked about the wall where the original fireplace was. Did l miss something? I don’t recall you talking about the fireplace that was there. I live in an 1845 stone house in Ontario Canada. An historical book was written about my area. There is a very large brick house in a village near me. An original observation about the house is that they had a prison of sorts in the basement. Someone wrote home to a friend in the ‘old country’ and said about this house “ There is a castle going up in the wilderness!” Naturally l thought of this very early house and Boone’s house built in the middle of ‘nowhere’. Thank you!
OHhhhhhhh MY GOODNESS THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHURCH EVER !!!!!! ...... ITS AMAZING !!!!!!! .... I THOUGHT THE HAND CARVED FIRE PLACE MANTELS WERE EXCEPTIONAL .... BUT THIS MAGNIFICENT CHURCH IS A DREAM COME TRUE ! ...
I LOVE THE PURE CLEAN BRIGHT WHITE WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ETCHED IN BLACK STONE IN THE PULPIT AREA ... PERFECTION !
AND WHAT DETAIL IN THE WOOD PANELING AND SPINDELS , AS FOR THAT PIPE ORGAN, OVER THE ENTRENCE MAGINIFICENT !... WITH A SPIRAL STARIECASE TO THE ORGAN LOFT ....
My father took some photos of a barn one of his great grandfathers build in SW Missouri post civil war. The frame was pinned together with wooden pegs. Big beams, big pegs, solid, still being used today as a barn.
My husband and I are both kin to the Boones Sarah Boone and Israel Boone are our 7th great grandparents I enjoyed this so much.
So Ken is 6‘1‘ but yet the tour guide is much taller than Ken which would put the tour guide at somewhere between 6’5” and 7 feet. WOW
Merci de me faire rêver. Vous me rapporter au temps des vrais valeurs. Merci encore
Very beautiful property and good history lesson
Yes.if you can't get a history lesson in schools, great to get it here.
The fact you are walking in history is just so awe inspiring. Just think what the walls could tell us if they could talk.😊
Thanks a bunch!!!! I would never get to see this in person so I truly appreciate your work an sharing
That Little Dixie area in Missouri has dozens of historic towns and hundreds of old estates- thank you for showing this one
The fact I live “right down the street” so to speak 🤣 from the monument and everything is amazing! I pass it every week multiple times never been in Looks soooo spooky at night! It would be an adventure to do a ghost hunt!
I drive past it several times a week to get to Loop Road. I'm from Washington
I was there many years ago. How things have changed! Those holes in the walls were in case of Indian attacks. They put their guns in the holes and were able to shoot and defend during Indian attacks! I am an American Indian and take no offense at the true American history. It's being changed to be politically correct. We took our now grown grandchildren there and we were told the truth about those holes in the wall!
I lived in Devon England and I saw in a newspaper that the Boones visited Cullompton where the Boones / Carson families were once neighbours.
I’m so glad I chanced across this video. It’s nice to see how careful they’re studying this landmark and following the evidence in its preservation. Daniel Boone and his family lived for 2 years in the Kanawha Valley of Charleston ( West) Virginia renting a log home from the Donally family across the river from a state park that now bears his name. They moved to Kentucky when they left here. There was a family of Van Bibbers here and I wonder if Nathan’s wife was related to those. It would be fun to see how Boone’s birthplace in Pennsylvania compares to this home. You did an excellent job presenting this!
I love the deep window wells designed for light and for children / adults to sit in.
My family is a descendent of Daniel’s sister Martha. This was amazing to see where he lived out his final days. Looks peaceful compared to his younger years.
LOVE the wall colors in the rooms, the stone work, and wood, and the church and its lovely blue ceiling! Wonderful! ❤
Ken, thank you for taking us to the best places. Sue from NH.
Americans love their old stuff. Built in 1817!!
My house in UK is at least 100 years older than that, as are many of the houses around here.
Lucky you! We can't help being youngsters in world history, you know.
@@deborahlester4018 That's fine, but stop thinking you invented everything.
We've been there, done that already.
@@TryptychUK I think you have a certain predisposition in your attitude about Americans. We are not all the same, just as not all Brits are prickly and judgemental. Most of the Brits I have known manage to tease us for any foibles with kind good humor. Again congratulations on the accident of birth that landed you in a country with so many old buildings. You didn't invent them, by the way.
@@deborahlester4018 The first thing Americans should learn about Brits, particularly the English, is we use sarcasm as a language. Never take what we say at face value.
@@TryptychUK It's been a long time, but my husband did a lot of business in London and we knew hundreds people there over the years. That was not my overall experience...maybe it's just you? Thanks for the heads up though. I will never, should we meet again, trust that you mean anything you say. 😉
Awesome I live so close to his grave that I can stand on my porch and see his and rebecca's headstone here in ky
Its beautiful, doesnt matter what the cupboards were used for lol atleast these people are taking care of this awesome historical home. Good work mansion caregivers😊
I love the place, when I was a young adult I had visited the house and were able to walk thru. Such a beautiful home. I love the house so much
😊
What an AMAZING House Tour‼️‼️‼️ Love ALL the history this beautiful home told about Daniel Boo e and his family. 🥰Thank you‼️ Thank You‼️Thank you ‼️
Thank you for putting this video out for all to see! Fascinating. They sure knew how to build houses to last in the 1800's!
The 4th great grandson of Daniel says those square holes are gun ports for defense-not for scaffolding. It sounds right for the period house-gun ports.
Beautiful home, that was a masterpiece home back in the day. Would love to visit one day.
Again reason for the thick walls is to make sure that the house is cool during the summer and any moisture can escape through those holes in the wall and in the winter to make sure there is fresh air in the house!
Now I have another special "Bucket-List" hopeful!! What a wonderful place,tour,and tour guide!! Thank you young man for posting this and sharing your visit!!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🥰🕊️☘️
Wonder tour & information!!!
As a quiltmaker, I also enjoyed the bedding, quilts and tops of the 4 posted beds. The carvings on the 4 posted black walnut beds was intricate & enjoyable.
Thanks for this lovely tour Ken! Daniel’s parents Squire and Sarah lived and are buried close by to me. I appreciate your passion and preservation of history!
Thank you Ken and William, great history of the land and House. I like that you provide history to us when you can, this makes a very interesting vlog.
Dan'l56 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸 So far, from my studies of Daniel's life, which are not in-depth yet, I am beyond amazed at his remarkable skills, athletic prowess, and outright courage !! I'm looking forward to visiting this site hopefully summer of '23 👍🇺🇸
