Christmas Candlelight Walk At The Historic Daniel Boone Home - An Old Fashioned Christmas In 1800's.
The Historic Daniel Boone Home at Lindenwood Park, is located in Defiance, Missouri, part of St. Charles County near St. Louis. The 300 acre site includes the home where Daniel Boone and his wife, Rebecca, lived with their son, Nathan, for several years. There is also a historic village there, created by moving several homes, shops, and even a church from the area to this site. For a few days every year in December, the Daniel Boone Home and the historic village are home to the Christmas Candlelight Walk event, a recreation of how Christmas was celebrated by the Boone family and the people of the St. Charles & St. Louis area around the early 1800's.
The whole village is decorated for Christmas, and there are several buildings and stations that you visit as you walk the candlelit path. You go at your own pace, and at each place you stop, there is a person (or person's) there that presents a small vignette of how Christmas was celebrated, and how life was lived around the turn of the 19th century. You can visit the tavern, the gunsmith, or take in a performance of Christmas music at the old church. Stop in at the Daniel Boone home, and hear Daniel himself tell of his journey to Florida, and getting back home in time to spend Christmas with his family. Go to the Sappington House, and you'll get a short French lesson, and then take part in a sing-a-long welcoming in the New Year. You can also listen to a recitation of a part of Charles Dickens', A Christmas Carol, and then move on to the next stop to hear the story of , Lila, A Slave At Christmas. Everyone involved, several of whom are from the nearby Lindenwood College, did an excellent job of transporting us back to the life and times of Daniel Boone. And the whole setting was pretty incredible, with real candles in Mason jars lighting the pathways and the interiors of all the buildings.
We would highly recommend that you take part in this at Christmastime if you get the chance. There is an admission charge: $10 in advance, and $15 at the door. In 2018, this event was only held during two weekends in December, on Friday and Saturday.
