We are partnering with the Daniel Boone Home to present a summer series called "Faces of America 250!" June 11, July 9, August 13 from 11am-3pm at the Boon Home in Defiance - different historical stations each day! Come meet the Historical Society first-person and third-person interpreters who will be sharing all different perspectives of people who lived through the American Revolutionary War in the west! (St. Louis Missouri saw the western-most battle of the Rev War!)

Head out to The Historic Daniel Boone Home for Artisan Day: Faces of America 250!

Encounter stories of the Revolutionary War on the Western front—how did this national event impact those living in Spanish and French territory? Meet with various characters from Missouri’s side of the conflict and learn about colonial lifeways in our region.

Meet Spanish militia members, learn about the Chickasaw Nation, hear stories from the Battle of St. Louis, and watch craftspeople create band boxes. Enjoy traditional music and more throughout your visit!
