- As a child I watched the TV show "Little House on the Prairie". When I realized it was based on a true story, I read the books. I still read Laura's books today. I hope you enjoy this peek into the museum.
Thank you for showing history of Laura Ingalls in her grandmother musuem. I love to watch this show.
Thank you for watching. I really enjoyed this area and hope to go back some day.
Walnut Grove is like Disney World for me. As a child I enjoyed reading Laura Ingalls’ books as well as watching Little House on the Prairie. Will visit this museum with my family next year. Thanks for this video.
Janet, I would love to see your videos for your visit! I want to go back. We didn't get to go to De Smet, ND on this trip and that is another place I would love to go to. Let me know how you and your family like Walnut Grove! Thanks for watching.
Museums like that are much needed to remind and show kids what came before. Very interesting.
I totally agree! As a teacher and history buff I want this to continue. History is important and I think we have forgotten what it is really all about.
My father is a big fan of Laura Ingals! We are planning a trip to USA to meeting This museum. We are from Brazil!
I hope you get there. It is a great museum. Thank you for watching and commenting. It's nice to be seen in Brazil!
@@CookingwithCatLover0330 I loved your channel and your lifestyle! I subscribed!
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.
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
You need to make a video! Thanks for sharing your memories with me and others who read the comments.
Heidi Harcourt I agree I remember reading her books and being so engrossed I didn’t hear anything going on around me
😊
I''m little house fan from Malaysia..40 years ago I watched lhotp with family esp. my dad..dad just passed away, about a month before the series are back on TV jul18.
I just wish walnut grove the time of ingalls will be revived & fans across the world can visit..
The walnut community as portrayed on TV esp the ingalls bring a lot of good values in the modern lives of our growing up children & we as parents..the beautiful simple life surrounded by nature & love that money just cant buy.
I love that era also. I am so glad you were able to watch the videos and see this all the way in Malaysia! That is cool. Thank you for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing! I LOVE these videos so much! I have read the books and have watched the program since I was in elementary school. I am 54 yrs old and still will enjoy all of the repeats. What a blessing to have the chance to actually go to and see the museum! I had gone to a rehab center in 1988 and can remember the counselor asking us what time period would you pick to live in . Well..that was a no brainer to me it was most certainly the pioneer days. I so much enjoyed your videos! God bless you! 😊👍
I have always wanted to live back then too. I think a part of what I do know is due to loving that time period. I would love to shut the power off and live without for a week, a month. Rod just won't work with me on that. :) Glad you enjoyed the video series. I was thrilled to be able to visit those places.
Great video & narration. I’m quite envious ❤️
The metal plates that you were talking about that make the paper are called Tin Types. My father worked at a news paper for 43 years and worked with tin types, I used to watch him. Thanks, this was very cool to see. Little House, was always one of my favorite stories ever.
Thank you, Page! Tin Types! I have heard and read about them but didn't know what they looked like in the printing stage. I'm so glad you enjoyed this video. My husband was in printing for many years as well but in a different era than your Dad. Thank you for sharing with us!
I love history. And I to get chills when I'm near something that had to with history. Especially something that's years old or I'm in an area where I know a battle or major event took place.
I too love history. Growing up in the Boston area, I was able to visit many early American historical sites. They always had me in awe.
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.
That's so cool. Thank you for sharing the history with us.
Thanks for Sharing this Lovely History Video.
Thank you for watching! I love history and am glad others can learn from my videos.
It's lovely to see history, I loved watching the TV show about Laura Ingalls Wilder
I do love history as much as you probably do! Thank you for sharing this unique look at the Walnut Grove/Laura Ingalls Museum. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it (twice) ;)
Thank you for watching! I do love history. The Civil War Era is my favorite.
Very impressive and interesting. Thank you for sharing this.
This is a part of American history that I relate to. I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie and reading the true life books. Thanks for watching, Dan!
Yes I love history too and I love Laura Ingals Wilder books very interesting I also watched the Series
Thank you for this video.I love history, especially Laura Ingalls. This was so enjoyable. You took toa place I will never get to.
Thank you for watching. I made these videos in hopes that people who couldn't travel, would watch. I have wanted to go to Walnut Grove from many years and really gave up on going. I was thrilled when my husband took me!
When I skipped school I went to the library also. I knew that was the one place no one would look for me!😊
LOL! Right, the librarians never questioned me. I learned a lot when I skipped school. :)
Thx so much! I love history and walking in the footsteps of prior generations. I started reading little house books in the 50’s. 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.
Arlys Veen , I love hearing your story. It is so amazing how Laura and her family has touched so many lives.
Enjoyed your video very much. I have to check out the museum. I too love history. Have a great day!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video series! I have always wanted to go there and I thought, maybe some others had the same thought and couldn't go. Thanks for watching.
My family lived there then. I was told that some of their pictures were there. Hoping to see them if they are! thanks for making this.
THANKS FOR THIS NICE VISITING. ALL THE WAY FROM BRASIL. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing this with us
I am so glad you enjoyed it. Laura has always been one of my favorite authors/characters. It was a dream come true to visit Walnut Grove. Thank you for watching and commenting.
great video I am a fan Little House
Me too!
This is Great! Thanks for sharing. I can't wait for the next video!
Thank you! I will be uploading the other video tomorrow.
I find this stuff so fascinating. I've always said I was born in the wrong time in history. Thanks for sharing my friend.
LOL, MP! There's a song from the 60's that says, "born to late..." That is my theme song!! LOL. I'm like you, I love this stuff and I think I could have been as tough as Caroline. Keep watching. I think she might be related to me!
I love history
Teresa, me too! I love American History and the Civil War is my favorite. Thank you so much for watching! I hope to visit more of Laura's homes.
Thank you so much . This is a great job
You're very welcome! I'm glad you liked it.
what a wonderful time in history and it also very interesting too . i always love history beacuse i like learning about it when i was in school and my favorite subject in school was history
It was a great time in history. There's so much to learn from our forefathers. Thanks for watching.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for sharing this, I wish I could go there as well 😍🤩
It is a great place. So much great history. I hope you get there someday too :) Thanks for watching.
I like the little house on the prairie
so interesting, relics of the past give me the willies because textures and surfaces are so gross to touch. but i'm still fascinated by them.
LOL! I get the texture thing! My Dad had an old record player from the 1800's. It was made of wood and had a nasty smell. I loved it but hated that smell. Thanks for watching!
I enjoy your video. Good job
thanks a lot...it was very interesting...thumbs up
Thanks for watching!
Nice video and thank you for showing.
Thank you for watching! I wanted to get it all in, but I only had so much time. I hope to go back some day.
I love this story is Interesting and when can I see all the chapters greetings from Colombia a fan of this story
Thank you for watching!
Thanks for sharing !
Thank you for watching.
I love this kind of stuff
Thank you so much for sharing. I have been Laura's house in Missouri where she wrote the books, but I really doubt if I'll ever make it to any of the other places.
I hope to go to Mansfield, MO soon! We live only about 8 hours from there and our favorite campground is only about 2 hrs away from her home. Thanks for watching!
Cat Lover Unless they have changed the rules there- no cameras around in the house or the museum. That disappointed us.
I meant no cameras allowed.
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.
Those printing plates were cool
Lo vedevo da piccola e adesso ho 50 anni e lo vedo ancora e mi piace tantissimo
It would be great if the town were to build a theme park that is the replica of the set from the TV series.
That would be cool. This is a very small town still. They do have a pageant once a year in June or July.
Cat Lover Do you live in the town or visit there often? You should bring this idea up with the town counsel and mayor.
That would be wonderful. And “the waltons” there were so many lessons in these shows.a lot of parents don’t teach these lessons because they don’t know how!
Yes 😊 I love history too
love history i have also been fasinated with laura ingalls wilder
History is so important. It bothers me that "they" are trying to erase it. Thanks for watching.
anybody notice on the list of supplies needed for a long wagon journey that a 1/2 bushel of cornmeal is listed twice ( once as cornmeal and once as Corn Meal.
Love it!! I did not notice that. I watched my own video again to see it. LOL! I was so busy video taping, and we were on a time schedule, that I didn't really get to truly enjoy this museum. Good eye, JChapoton1!! Thanks for watching. I can tell you are a history nut too.
Wooow!!!!
Very interesting!
Thank you for watching.
I grew up watching Michael Landon on little house...it's a shame that good wholesome tv like this is no longer on..I would of loved to live back in that time period..from what I am reading Mary never married....is that true
There were 4 kids in my family and fought over the TV on certain nights. Monday was Little House no arguing! Even the boys liked this show. Thanks for watching the videos.
Me too! I always say I was born in the wrong century. ☺
I love your video. We are going to adventure out to follow her story. But our big problem is you have to travel many states to see it all. I do PLACES TO GO IN WISCONSIN, My brand is JAMES SWEEN if you want to take a peek. But your doing a great job on your channel. Thanks for sharing, I just started watching, so I will continue with your channel. I'm really into Laura Ingalls. I know we will at least try to get to Pepin and North Dakota.
Thanks for watching and the nice complement. We did enjoy our trip!
The item is not used to make cornmeal it is used to remove the corn kernels so it could be ground into cornmeal.
Thank you for clarifying that.
I never realized this but Laura and her family lived in a Hobbit Hole. Lol
LOL!
I like history
Found the dugout house. Ausome
This was a great trip. I'm so happy we were able to go.
Lol, they never missed Walmart because it was never introduced to them. They knew nothing about it, therefore they never got the chance to miss it, much less live without it, lol!
Life was harder back then but so much simpler. Folks could enjoy life, whereas nowadays, we're missing out on life because we're too busy working. It's sad because life is passing us by, we don't actually ENJOY living it, therefore, our quality of life has deteriorated to work, work, work. 😢
I totally agree! We work to live. I love the simple life. Thanks for watching.
gotta visit the wilder farm in mo. its also the location of thier gravesites
I want to! We camp at Silver Arrow Campground in MO. It is maybe 50 miles from Mansfield. I will try to make a video next summer of that area. Thank you.
When did Charles and Caroline Ingalls pass away?
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.
Lol!
I don't think that is their original "car" dear....
Lmao!!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 lol too much!
How is the word "DeSmet" pronounced? I thought it was just as it's spelled, but in this video the narrator says "deh-smaught." ??
You know, I might have pronounced it wrong. Thanks for watching.
You're welcome. Thank YOU for the video :)
It's De Smet, Smet rhyming with Pet. Father in law works in the town.
Thanks cory k. It seems that would be a logical pronunciation.
Oh one more thing. :) Many people see the word 'slough' in the books. It is pronounced 'slew'. Any other pronunciation proclaims that you aren't a local...lol!
B
I think that people that don’t like history wouldn’t be here lol
That was neat! Neato!
