The pieces are being taken to the headquarters Sept 12, 2008. This date marks the first time that any portion of the plaque has been removed from Warren Co. since 1915. The DAR is replacing the plaque with a black granite marker. They do not want to use bronze, since no one wants this to happen again. It will be 9 months until a new marker will be completed. So no part of the original plaque will be used in the new marker. One note to the reference to driving at 65 mph: The posted limit is only 55 mph. But thanks for stopping by, this site is visited by many people from several countries every year. We are in the process of doing more to improve the grave sites.

John, Freyja, and I came across Daniel Boone's grave by accident a few years ago -- just saw the sign at 65 MPH, looked at each other, and turned around to go take a look. A lovely peaceful grave site for Daniel, his wife Rebecca, and several other family members. Yeah I know, the Kentuckians dug up Daniel's body and hauled it off to Lexington, but the Missouri site is where he was buried and where his spirit still lives. Very sad.
