History and architectural features
This historic property includes the remains of the log cabin that was built in 1720 by Quaker settler George Boone III. These remains consist of a chimney and fireplace, and are marked by a stone marker that was erected in 1925, the year after log cabin burned down.

The adjacent stone farmhouse was built in 1733, and is a two-and-one-half-story Colonial English-style structure that is built from fieldstone with sandstone quoins. It has a slate-covered gable roof, and also has a one-story stone addition.

Also located on the property are the contributing guesthouse/spring house, smokehouse, and barn. The property is considered the ancestral home of the Boone family in America, which includes frontiersman Daniel Boone, grandson of George Boone III. Daniel Boone was born at the nearby Daniel Boone Homestead.
