Children will also be able to participate in the fun at the “Children’s village”. Activities will include tomahawk throwing, sack races, tug-of-war tournaments, hay mazes, and all sorts of period games and activities. Located at 1868 Highway F in Defiance, Mo., the Daniel Boone Home is the house in which the legendary explorer and frontiersman, Daniel Boone, spent his final years. The four-story Georgian-style home was built overlooking the Femme Osage Valley. The adjoining village contains over a dozen other 19th century building that have been moved from the surrounding area and are used to represent town life on the frontier.
