September 20 & 21: Pioneer Days - A pre-1840s Folkways Festival and Encampment. Artisans, music, historic encampment, and good food make this a glorious day in the beautiful Femme Osage Valley. Step into the past to experience life on the early Missouri frontier and learn about the Boone legacy.
October 25: Halloween: Ghosts from the Past - Halloween has always been a favorite for children of all ages. Storytellers populate Boonesfield Village and share tales of ghosts, ghouls, goblins, and all of those unexplained things that go bump in the night. This event is designed as a kids friendly program but does offer true stories of experiences that are hard to explain.
November 8 & 9: Missouri Neighbors Confront The Civil War - 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM each day - Members of the victorious MO State Guard are returning home after the recent Battle of Lexington. Gen. Price has furloughed many of his men after Lexington because he did not have enough food or equipment for them. Boonesfield is a divided town, so there will be mixed reaction to the returning heroes. Activities will include: civilian occupations such as dressmaking, carpentry, pottery, printing, mercantile, school and church; military activities will include target shoots and military drilling.
December 5 & 6 and 12 & 13: Annual Candlelight Tour - Usher in the holiday season with a visit to the Boone Home & Boonesfield Village. More than a dozen buildings are decorated in 19th century fashion and are illuminated with thousands of candles, lanterns, bonfires and starlight. Period music will echo through the valley offering a simpler, more delightful holiday experience.
