First Day Hike – Boone Homestead State Historic Site

Nathan and Olive Boone Homestead State Historic Site will host a First Day Hike covering portions of all three of the site’s hiking trails – Spring Box, Interpretive and Prairie View – for a total of 2 miles. This moderately difficult hike will take guests through what was once a thriving 19th century homestead and give them a glimpse into what the early settlement of Ash Grove looked like. Along the way, the historic site superintendent will share the history of the Boone Homestead and stories from Ash Grove’s past.

This family-friendly event is free and open to all ages. Participants are encouraged to bring a water bottle, wear appropriate hiking footwear, and dress for the weather. Pets are welcome but must be kept on a leash.

The hike will begin at the picnic shelter near the site office.
