Free Day Open House

The Daniel Boone Homestead Associates are excited to be a part of The Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission’s (PHMC) Trails of History Free Day. The PHMC, the commonwealth’s official history agency, invites the public to explore the state-owned historic sites along the Pennsylvania Trails of History for free on Saturday, September 24. The Associates and their volunteers hope you will join us for tours of the Boone House and to stroll the historic area featuring seven eighteenth and early nineteenth century structures.

The Pennsylvania Trails of Historycomprises museums and historic sites administered by the PHMC, organized along four theme-based “trails” crossing the commonwealth: Military History, Industrial Heritage, Historic Homes, and Rural Farm & Village. Visitors are invited to explore one or more of the trails to learn about the people, places and events that make Pennsylvania so special. The Daniel Boone Homestead is featured on the Historic Homes Trail. From modest stone houses to sprawling estates, this trail opens the door to Pennsylvania's past. Original furnishings, gardens, outbuildings, and architectural details tell the stories of these enduring homesteads and the people who built and inhabited them.
