Living in Minnesota, I have been to Walnut Grove and to Pepin Wisconsin. Nice to see this part of her life as well. It is more accurate to say that the books were based partly on her life in Kansas, but also Wisconsin, Minnesota, and South Dakota.

[@mtlake]

I am a SW Minnesota native as well. I always had to laugh at the mountains and hilly terrain in the background of the tv show. Pretty flat prairie out there!

[@johnjohnon8767]

She lived and died in Missouri

[@doveandpatch]

@@johnjohnon8767 she moved to Missouri as an adult, also lived briefly in Florida, which has always made me laugh for some unknown reason. Pioneers and palm trees, so different from the stock images in my head. I bet the Michael Landon "Pa" would have loved stripping down to that chest and getting some sun, oceanside. I wonder how he would have contrived an injury to allow it?

The Little House series is what created a lifelong love of reading for me. Thank you for sharing some of the sites💗💗

[@susanspatz9501]

I am 70 years old and I still read her books.

[@sstephens2175]

I don't understand why they never made the traditional 12" dolls, house, furniture, and other buildings and people from the town as toys to buy. As a kid I would have loved those, and played with them endlessly.

[@jen4him72]

Great idea! I would have loved and played with them, too. My great-grandmother Doris, that raised my Mama, introduced me to the Little House on the Prairie books when I was about 9 years old. She read them to me for many years, until I begin to be able to read to her and then I did so. She had been at school teacher and really delighted in the two of us reading together. We had a very special relationship. We watched the TV show together as much as possible, as well. Precious memories. And books and TV show from a very special time in our country's history! Love them still @ 48 years old. 🙂💗

[@sstephens2175]

@@jen4him72 your relationship with your grandmother sounds very much like the one I had with my mamaw. She was born in 1906 in the hills of West Virginia, and grew up very much like Laura did. I learned so much from her. I loved hearing her stories of growing up. She raised 10 successful children. Her last child born in 1949 died of pneumonia at 6 months old. Growing up I would just stare at his tiny tombstone with the lamb on it. My mamaw dearly loved children and babies and was a role model to me like no other. In my later teen years I remember asking her did she miss the old days and ever want to go back. She said, "no, it was too hard." By the time she passed in January of 1990 she had cable TV, a microwave, air conditioning. a Mr. Coffee, and other modern conveniences that we take for granted. She considered these things luxuries. I'll never forget one story she told me about my oldest uncle. He was getting to the crawling stage as a baby. She was home alone, (my grandfather was a coal miner) and she needed to milk the cow. She didn't have a safe place to put uncle Charlie so he wouldn't get hurt while she went to the barn. She said she carefully tied him to the bed post to keep him safe till she could get back from milking the cow. I know she would have greatly been thankful for a play pen. We take so much for granted in today's times. Even being poor and having little my mom said she never saw her daddy wear dirty shoes and you wouldn't find as much as a gum wrapper in their yard. My grandparents were very neat and clean with everything they owned. I remember when it would come up about poor people being dirty. My mamaw would always say, "soap and water are cheap." I'm so thankful for the life's lessons that she taught me. There aren't many left like those fine old people, and I miss that generation being here on earth with us.

[@kathycagg6531]

The newspaper in the post office that you couldn’t read full title of was the Kansas City Evening Star. It was published 1789 - 1963. There was also a morning paper but I don’t remember its name. The evening paper was dropped in 1963 and the once daily paper was call the Kansas City Star. I’m a K.C. girl and remember going to only one daily paper. The Kansas City newspaper would have been the nearest large city for them to get news from. My, how times have changed! Thanks, Chris! This was interesting.

[@glennlrw]

Wouldn't that be more like 1889? Was there a Kansas City in 1789? The country was barely in existence, before the Louisiana Purchase, etc. in 1789.

[@kathycagg6531]

@@glennlrw , thanks for your inquiry. I evidently read something wrong in my original research. The town was founded in the 1830’s & chartered in 1850. The newspaper was first published in 1880.

The real story is what happened to the Native people who were kicked off that land to make way for the settlers

[@laurie4275]

True!! In the book, Laura talks about the "red skinned men, the mohawk hair, and the endless beating of their drums at night. They had encounters with the Natives, but were never harmed.

[@blusky808]

The cabin of the tv series was the one of Walnut Grove...not that of Kansas. If You ser the tv series the first chapter shows this litttle cabin of one room. On second chapter they moved to Minessota in Plum Creek near to Walnut Grove and Charles built the cabin with the second floor.

I can't even imagine living with a family in the little cabin. Love the school. It's beautiful. The old mailboxes are so cool. Just think back in the 1800s it took weeks sometimes months for mail to be delivered. I love little places like this and just seeing the history and how they lived back then.

[@sarabrown2663]

So I looked it up. $25.00 a month in 1872 is comparable to $533.26 nowadays. Could you even imagine teaching today’s children/teenagers with all the BS, and back talk teachers put up with, and getting paid only $533.06 BEFORE taxes? No way! I wonder what the pay discrepancy was for male teachers vs. female teachers in 1872? I’m going to have to look that up.

[@kathyflorcruz552]

I'm sure the wages were determined by where the schools were & what the town could afford. This was long before they before the Feds took over & turned them into a disaster.

[@johnfd0210]

Just a though in regard to the school house...I doubt a one room school house would have had a nurses room. I have a feeling the building was later used as a residence (home) and that section was partitioned off to make a kitchen.

With real lives. Then you Americans could say the same thing about my ancestors here in Australia. We'er (My families) from Bushrangers and outlaws.

Also "Register Cliff" and Oregon Trail Ruts in Guernsey, WY. While there check out Guernsey State Park with 'The Castle" which is a cool example of work done during President Roosevelt's CCC Program. There is fantastic hiking in the area as well. If you are in Colorado check out "Falcon Castle" (cool history) near Morrison CO on the Mt Falcon area trail. "Enchanted Forest" is a very fun area on the trail also. If you are in SD check out the "Black Elk Wilderness" and "Harney Peak". If you stay in the Mt Rushmore KOA the trailhead for Black Elk Wilderness is very close by (the hike to "Harney Peak" is an all day hike but the scenery and 'vibe' is worth it).
