The Boone Station State Historic Site is a state park and historic site in Lexington, Kentucky. It features the site where Daniel Boone established a pioneer station in 1779.

Initially known as ?Boone?s new station?, Boone Station State Historic Site became the home and new settlement where Boone lived in from 1779 to 1782. It was first settled in by Boone?s son, Israel, and later boomed to being home of about 20 families. It saw little action during the Revolutionary War, but a number of its residents were killed during the period. Settlement in the area ended in 1791, a couple of year after Boone lost his title to the area.

Today, the Boone Station State Historic Site is home to several reconstructed cabins and stockade. Reenactors are also found at the site.
