Boone Hays House
March 30, 2024
The Boone Hays House is located in Defiance (MO) about 45 minutes west of St Louis. The House is part of the Daniel Boone Homestead, which is only a few miles to the west, and can be viewed on the left as you drive toward Matson Hill Park from the main road. It’s nestled among thick trees with a gentle rolling hill as a backdrop, with massive trees that surround the House. On really sunny days, the limbs create deep shadows that provide dark, streaking, contrasty lines that permeate the composition. It’s one of those peaceful places that I return to again and again.
