Daniel Boone Homestead, Birdsboro

A beautiful, clean park. However, I was disappointed because you get the impression that you are looking at his home. Instead, it’s a house built on the foundation of the original house. So, when you go, understand you are looking at structures that may have been moved to the park OR structures of an era later than that of Boone, very nicely restored. Self guided tour will not allow you into some of the structures. The guided tour is suppose to allow you access. Because it is a Commonwealth park, there is a small fee for access to the park and a bit more will you to be guided on a 45” tour. Currently, if you are coming from US 422, do not follow Google Maps. When you come around the corner, there is a right turn lane to allow you to access to the park. There is ‘No Left Turn’ going northbound.

Cool place to see some historical stuff. The saw mill is really neat. They have events and everything fairly regularly, where certain things are reenacted or explained. I like the blacksmith demonstration, and sawmill demos. It's quite interesting to watch the sawmills water wheel. It's an overshot one, and moves fairly quickly.
