Boone House
The Boone House began as a one-room, one-story log house built by Squire Boone in 1730, and included a cellar with a spring. Daniel was born in the log house in 1734. Sometime around the middle of the century, the large, stone two-story section of the present house that is fronted by the porch was built and attached to the log house. This larger section was constructed either by the Boones or by the second owner, William Maugridge. John DeTurk, a later owner, razed the log-house section in 1779 and replaced it with the two-story section of stone to the left of the porch (as you face the house). DeTurk retained the original log-house foundation and cellar.
