Nathan and Olive Boone Homestead State Historic Site, located two miles north of Ash Grove, Missouri, is a state-owned property that preserves the home built in 1837 by Nathan Boone, the youngest child of Daniel Boone.[4] The Nathan Boone House, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, is a 1+1⁄2-story "classic" saddle-bag pioneer log house, constructed of hand-hewn oak log walls that rest on a stone foundation.[3][5]: 4  Established in 1991, the historic site offers an interpretive trail plus tours of the home and cemetery.[6]
