Boone Station

Athens at the time was named "Cross Plains"[2] and Boone's son Israel established the fort nearby in 1776.

During the American Revolution, Daniel moved to his son Israel's settlement, which consisted at its height of 15 to 20 families.

Boone's son Israel and his nephew Thomas were killed at the Battle of Blue Licks in 1782.

In 1783, he either resettled his family in a cabin at nearby Marble Creek, where he lived for a couple of years, or he relocated to Limestone (now part of Maysville), near the Ohio River.

Boone moved with his family to St. Charles County, Missouri in 1799, after losing the last of his land claims.

This monument, placed in 1967 by the Daughters of the American Revolution , marks the site of Boone Station. On the monument are the names of five Boone family members thought at the time to have been buried there. Three of the men listed were killed elsewhere and were probably buried where they died.
