  • This weeks adventure brings us the Laura Ingalls Wilder De Smet, South Dakota Homestead. We get step on the actual land where the Ingalls Family built their residence and farm. Also, we get to go on a horse drawn carriage ride to go to school and church. It was so neat to learn about how the family lived in that time.

    I live near De Smet in one of the teeny tiny farm towns (I'm closer to Lake Preston than De Smet tbh) and I love watching people’s reactions to SD.
    My dad occasionally works for the people who most of the cats come from at Laura Ingalls. One of our cats was going to there but we got her instead. She was a sweetheart but a menace to the coyotes and muskrats.

    Clothes kept their color better than even the best jeans today - because you didn't let the jeans soak in water and soap which causes the dyes to get leeched from them and washed away! It is beautiful and an amazing place to live and grow up near. All of the visitors are welcome with open arms. It's even now, an amazing place to be!

I bought a whole set for my granddaughter a few years ago when I visited Laura’s home in Mansfield MO if you hadn’t you need to go there and do a tour. I looked her books

    I was a big fan of Little House on the Prairie, I love reading the books and when my daughter was younger she also read them. We live in a 200 year old town with lots of log cabins. The church we attended just turned 200 years old last year.we have several farns. If you ever have a chance to come visit us, there is allot of history in Burlington county In New Jersey.
