Great video! In 2000 I was at this museum as a child and hardly remember it. Thank you for posting this video, brought back some memories. I’m a history lover myself and like seeing things like this preserved for future generations. The news articles of the family from back in the day truly makes them a reality instead of just characters in a beloved book series.

Yes, Ryan, this was a real family! You are so right when you say the articles help us see that. I am reading other books by other authors on the Ingalls lives. It really does bring America to life. Thank you for watching. I love history as does my husband and we want to do more of these videos.

HI.. I began reading the Little House books when I was 6 years old back in 1960. Laura had died 3 years prior so I was despondent I'd never get to meet her. I dragged my poor husband to Pepin, Wisconsin, Walnut Grove and the farm where the sod house had been, to De Smet, SD, to Manchester, SD before a tornado totally destroyed it, and to Mansfield, MO Rocky Ridge Farm. Laura Ingalls Wilder and her books are responsible for me loving to read.
@CookingwithCatLover03307 жыл бұрын
I envy you, Heidi! I want to go to all her homes. When we were in Walnut Grove, it was on a business trip for my husband. We didn't have time to go to Wisconsin or South Dakota. We were so close to De Smet but time didn't allow. We go camping in a town in MO that is close to Mansfield. Next year, I will go there. I love Laura's books and share them with everybody! I think my friends are getting tired of me saying, "Oh, I was reading about..." LOL! I am now on "These happy golden years". I love reading of the neighbor who borrowed everything but the hog to butcher :)

On my 20th birthday, my husband asked what I wanted for my birthday present. I'd seen the set of the original Little House books at the book store, with illustrations by Garth Williams. If I remember correctly the entire set only cost about $20. Guess what I got for my birthday? :) Here I am *coughs* 43 years later and I still have and cherish that set of books. We have other things in common. I, too, am a cat lover. When we were in De Smet, we found that Silver Lake had been drained earlier in the 20th century because being a shallow and marshy area, it was a health hazard (mosquitos). I do so hope you'll get the opportunity to visit the other homes of the Ingalls and Ingalls-Wilders. Pepin is a truly scenic area and not so far away are the bluffs on the Mississippi River on the Minnesota side. Breathtaking. The last trip we'd done, we had two weeks of vacation and were driving to Yellowstone National Park anyway. So I urged the stops in Pepin (2nd visit), Walnut Grove and the farm where the sod house has been, De Smet and Manchester. Why not? It was on the way and so interesting! Perhaps you can talk your husband into such a trip

We have relatives in MN and took our kids to Walnut Grove and saw the living pageant in the evening. It was drizzling and the kids were so worried they’d cancel the play but they didn’t and they haven’t forgotten it. We were in the museum but I don’t remember much. Do remember Plum creek. On a later trip my husband and I visited De Smet. We still want to go to Rock Ridge.

I recently stumbled across another video where they were in independence showing that museum. I believe I read correctly, that in the books the family only stayed in Walnut Grove a couple of years. I actually grew up in this area myself. I am from the town of wabasso. We were not established until about 1900 and Walnut Grove was established in 1874. I was to this museum as a child myself. If I remember correctly, we got to go out to the actual farm site where the house would have been. As well as being at the museum. I remember enjoying the TV show as a kid even though it was in syndication. A lot of the towns that are mentioned in the show I grew up near and it was so fun for me to hear the towns. Again, my town is never mentioned because we were established later.

Just think, this Father took his Wife & 3 young girls from Pepin WS, to Independence, KS around Indian Territory for Farmers to claim land to start harvesting crops. The Ingalls were in the wrong area & got kicked off the land. Therefore the Ingalls family moved onward to Walnut Grove, MN. Stayed there for several yrs. Then they moved onward to DeSmit, SD for C Ingalls to manage a Hotel for a while. Later the Family being home sick, the Ingalls family moved bk to Walnut Grove, MN. That is where Laura 1st met Almanzo Wilder! There after, once she was of age her & Almanzo were married. Laura & Almanzo moved to different states. Finally making their final home in Missouri, their home & land was called Rocky Ridge Farm.

Laura's father Charles was born on 1/10//1836 in Cuba, NY and passed on 6/8/1902. His wife, Laura's mother, lived long past him. She was born on 12/12/1839 and passed on 4/20/1924. As I am reading more on Laura's live, I read how she mourned her mother's death. She hadn't seen her in 20 or more years. Both died in De Smet, SD and I believe they are both buried there. I am not an "expert" on the family. I had to look this up on google.
