Mill Tract Farm, also known as the George Boone Homestead, is a historic house and farm complex located in Exeter Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The original section of the house was built about 1750, with a western addition built about 1790 and rear additions completed between 1790 and 1820. It is a two-story, five-bay, L-shaped fieldstone dwelling in the Georgian style. Also on the property are a 2+1⁄2-story, stone grist mill (c. 1728); early-19th-century, 2+1⁄2-story, fieldstone tenant house; large, late-18th-century stone-and-frame barn; stone pig pen; and two-story, stone horse barn. The grist mill was purportedly built by George Boone, III, grandfather of frontiersman Daniel Boone, who received the original land grant.^[2]

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
