Fort Boonesborough State Park near Richmond will be the setting for a film crew working on a feature about the path taken by explorer Daniel Boone.

The three-part series, the second of which is called “Daniel Boone in Kentucky,” will be hosted by Darby Hinton, who played the role of the pioneer’s son Israel Boone in the 1960s TV series “Daniel Boone” that starred Fess Parker. The series – called “Daniel Boone’s Path” — takes a look at Boone’s travels and what those areas look like today.

The crew is scheduled to be at the park and surrounding areas June 4-7. Fort Boonesborough is hosting its annual “Women on the Frontier” weekend June 6-7. Ed Ames, who played Mingo on the television series, has also agreed to be part of the series.

A related project for the “Hintons Living History” program will also be filming in the area at this time. The program is scheduled to be shown on the internet later this summer.
