Weston, Mo. ? The state has sold a home where generations of Daniel Boone’s descendants once lived.

The sale of the Price-Loyles Home in Weston was closed on Tuesday by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources, said state Sen. Charlie Shields, R-St. Joseph.

The house was sold for $120,000 to Terry and Mary Beth McKenzie, of Overland Park, Kan., who plan to use it as their home.

From 1864 to 1989, the Price-Loyles Home was the home to four generations of Boone’s family, and, by marriage, some descendants of Robert E. Lee.

The 1857 home was acquired by the state’s Historic Preservation Revolving Fund in 2000 from Eugene Feldhausen of Kansas City, who had operated it as a museum and tearoom.

After several unsuccessful efforts to preserve the structure, a collection of Boone family possessions, including Civil War and children’s memorabilia, was moved to Lindenwood University in St. Charles.

The sale includes restrictions to maintain the property in accordance with the U.S. Department of Interior’s Standard for Rehabilitation.

Boone was an American frontiersman who lived from 1734 to 1820.
