In Search of Laura Ingalls WilderLast Summer our family left Southern California in search of Laura Ingalls Wilder, her history, and her legacy. Being a fan of Little House on the Prairie books and television as a child, this was a dream come true for me. Our family visited the Birthplace of Laura Ingalls Wilder, Pepin Wisconsin, and we also traveled to Walnut Grove Minnesota to see the Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant. While we were in Walnut Grove, we visited the "Banks of Plum Creek" , it was amazing! Although there wasn't much left of the old "dugout house" in Walnut Grove, we visited the "Big Rock" and other areas around the Creek, it was like a dream come true for me. Now that I am back, all I have left are the photographs of our visit, I hope you enjoy them! Please email me if you are interested in any information about Pepin (birthplace of Laura), Walnut Grove (where she lived as a child) or De Smet, South Dakota where other books were written. It's fascinating history, and the times she described so vividly in her books really give you a sense of what it was like to be alive when times were hard and life was much different than it is today. Laura's books are fantastic reading for adults and Children. Help support this website! Check our links for all the "Little House" Books, DVD's and gift ideas.
