Fireside Tales for young children and their families - Sundays January 10, February 7 & March 7 at 2:00pm

Are the wintertime blues getting you and the kids down?  Then join us at the Daniel Boone Homestead for our Fireside Tales and chase those blues away! 

Storytelling was a great way for families in the 18th century to pass the time during the long, dark winters.  During our Fireside Tales, Homestead Friends and volunteers will read a few stories geared toward young children ages 4 – 8 and their families in the rustic atmosphere of the Wayside Lodge at 2:00pm.  

The stories will have a different theme each day:

        January 10 - Good Neighbors

        February 7 - Felicity and Ben - More Adventures with Colonial Kids

        March 7 - Native American Tales

We will make sure to have a nice, cheerful fire going in the fireplace in the Wayside Lodge but it will still be quite chilly inside so remember to dress warmly and bring a few extra blankets or quilts to relax on and snuggle under!  Light refreshments will be available. 

These programs are offered free to the public but donations to the Friends of the Daniel Boone Homestead will be kindly accepted. 

So forget about Old Man Winter for an hour or two and spend an afternoon with your family at the Daniel Boone Homestead!


Hell or High Water Flintlock Shoot - Sunday, January 17 from 12:00 - 5:00pm

The First Pennsylvania Regiment will hold a flintlock shoot in the Rifle Range - rain, sleet, snow or shine!
