Description:
In the late 18th century, Daniel Boone and his family settled this site, where they lived for three years. Legal issues regarding the validity of the claim forced the clan to move, but five relatives were buried here nevertheless, several of them victims of battle and Indian tensions. Today, the site features an open area with a monument to the deceased and individual tombstones. No remains of the settlement exist, but the pastoral area makes a great picnic site and a place to reflect on local history.
