- If you're a fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder and Little House On The Prairie, you're going to love this adventure. It takes place in Walnut Grove, Minnesota at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum. It's a whole town that is set up to reflect the times that they would have lived in the area.
The Depot building has a quilt owned but Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane and a coat purchased by "Pa" Ingalls himself. The other side has artifacts from the show, including a fiddle with a picture of Michael Landon playing it. They even have the fireplace mantel from the show!
Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote a book called, "On The Banks Of Plum Creek" and it depicts a dug out location where the family lived as their home was being built. We visit that beautiful location with an amazing view of the real Prairie land reference in her books and the TV show.

I guess I'm weird, but I'm always interested in the history of places in America that most people think are boring. This was right up my alley
Awesome! I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Nothing boring about it.
Ditto! Love historic places!
Guess I'm weird too! Love this stuff!
Your not weird i love to see the real little house on the prairie lots of prairie musuems in america im a historiy buff too
It meant a lot to my wife and I to watch this video because we cannot visit these places in person. God bless you and thank you.
A big part of the reason I so these adventures is for those who won't be able to experience them for themselves in person! Thank you so much for watching, and I'm so glad that you enjoyed this video!
My 5th grade teacher read us the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder. It has been with me all my life.
Awe, that's Awesome! Laura Ingalls Wilder certainly touched a lot of hearts in kids of all ages with her writing. Thank you so much for stopping by!
This is so Cool. I read the Little House on the Prairie books over and over again when I was a child. I loved everything Laura wrote. Thank you for sharing this with us. ❤❤
Absolutely! I'm so glad that you enjoyed this adventure, and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Thank you for filming this visit to Walnut Grove!
Of course! And thank you so much for stopping by today! 😃
Laura is my favorite author. In grad school I did a presentation in her in my 4-6 grade childrens lit class. My professor said that if I ever go for a PhD that I should write my thesis on Laura! Maybe one day...I have been to Pepin, De Smet and Keystone so far. Thanks for showing us Walnut Grove! That gift shop is awesome!
Isn't it fun to check out the different locations? I really enjoyed standing in that Prairie behind the old dugout location. Standing on that spot really connected me to the family and their surroundings. Thank you so much for stopping by today!
My patient couldn’t sleep last night so we watched a marathon of the show, this was the perfect way to end our night/day. I’m going to bed now, night y’all ❤
My family and I are heading to Minnesota for a family reunion, and I asked my mom if we could stop by the museum, and she said yes. I am so excited!
That's Awesome! I hope you have a great time!
I'm from Great Bend, Kansas. My third grade teacher, Miss Hill@ Riley Elementary , would read to us every day after lunch and recess. This is where I was introduced to the books of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Miss Hill was an older teacher and as I recall had once met Mrs. Wilder. These stories sparked an interest in history and genealogy. Of course my daughters read all of her books and watched the television series as well. Your video productions are a way of keeping today's history alive for the future as well. Thank You.
Awe, thank you so much! It's amazing to see how many people that Laura Ingalls Wilder books have taught and inspired. I love this place because it does a good job of teaching about the differences between the real family and the TV show. I'm so glad you enjoyed this adventure.
My family lived there then too. Their pictures are in the museum..so happy I found this!
Ohhhh that's really cool! Thank you so much for stopping by!
@@TommyTravels Fun to see your videos!
@@vonlossberg Thank you so much! That means a lot to me!
Oh Tommy Travels you did a amazing job on this video!!!! Each one of Laura Ingalls home sites and museums are on my bucket list. I am a huge fan of the show and read every book. I still watch the show everyday on TV plus on Amazon Prime. Such simple times compared to this crazy world today. I absolutely fell in love with this video and what to see every Laura Ingalls museum. You rocked this video. I had watch it again. Because I wanted to make sure that I didn't miss something. These places are so difently on my bucket list. And getting to see that mantle up close and touch it. And there was that doll figurine that was in the show. And seeing the Sod House ( house made out of dirt) I remember that in the books and TV show.
Ohh good, I'm so glad that you enjoyed this adventure! There were so many cool artifacts that I didn't expect to see and they did such a great job of putting this museum together! Thank you so much for watching! 😊❤️
I still watch the show every single day.I actually record them so I can rewatch them over and over.
My husband bought the series for me on DVD.
I was lucky enough to go to both her homes in Mo. The big White House was cool, they had it built to their size, kitchen counter ect was low they both were short. But her brick home around the road back behind that one was her favorite, we didn't get to go into that one because they were fixing & setting up, but we looked in windows it was so nice, they had a beautiful orchard down the hill from White House, we also went to their Museum too, I throughly enjoyed myself. I got a bunch of pics too..
I was so lucky a few years ago to get the entire series on dvd for $20 at a thrift store.
I grew up at the 80s in Portugal, and back there in 1988 I like to run with 5ys old in a beautiful prarie that belongs to local farmers and noble family's in the old village of Queluz.
So I know the sensation of running free like Laura in the green fields and all type of vegetation but in a different country that actually share celtic iberian Lusitanian roots.
I m watching this series only in our modern days in 2024 even if this series was brodcast in ou national TV in the 80s here.
Theres something magic in the rural life that makes us feel more humans in our hearts watching this show. And I hope I can read the books soon.
Thank you for this wonderful journey, I never have been in America or even out of my birthday land lol. And I wish that someday I can travel to this amazing landscape s. For me the english and american culture is brand new thing for my portuguese daily life here, and I love to learn all the ideomatic expressions and quotes like "money on the barrelhead" just an exemple 😂 so Little House on the Prairie teach me a lot !!!
I send you cousy feelings s from Portugal to all the Prairie fans around the world ❤ 🌎🇵🇹🇺🇸
And a big hello to you from Minnesota! It's always hard to imagine, as I'm out doing an adventure, that it'll be seen by someone all the way in Portugal! Thank you so much for watching today, and I'm so glad that you enjoyed this adventure! 🙂
Cash on the barrel!!!!!!!
That was such a treat to follow all the story to the end with the dugout on plum Creek. I loved that book more than the rest of the series. Laura had good memories of that dugout. Even when an ox stepped thru the roof in one of the chapters of that book.
Ohhhh, I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed this adventure. It sure has been fun learning about and seeing all of the different places the Ingalls family ventured off to! Thank you so much for watching today!
Very detailed tour. Thanks for showing us everything and explaining it all! The original tiny houses. :)
Yes. I couldn't believe how big that museum was and it was such a fun day. Thank you so much for watching!
Ich wäre gerne dort, wenn es nicht so weit weg wäre. Ich kenne die Verfilmung auswendig. Es läuft immer noch im Fernsehen. Danke das du uns daran teilnehmen lässt. 😊
I am a huge Laura Ingalls Wilder fan. Thank you for this detailed view of the sites at Walnut Grove! I enjoyed this video a great deal. I went to Walnut Grove in the 1980s with my parents. Only the dugout site was there then plus a few interesting sites in the town. The museum and recreated town buildings look wonderful and I hope to go back to see them.
I sure hope you get a chance to do that! This was an amazing day and thank you so much for stopping by!
Laura was my favorite writer when I was ten years old. I read every book and dreamed of the old days and ways. 🥰
Absolutely and it was neat to check this place out and see history from, not only the show, but the actual Ingalls Family. Thanks so much for watching today!
I love the laura ingalls books! Ive read them since i was little and my family and I visited here a decade ago. I want to go back!
It really is a wonderful place to visit and thank you so much for watching!
Brilliant stuff for people to see. My family and I watched them on telly weekly and monthly nonstop for a long time. It's a folklore setting in late victorian times. 🌹🌞🥰📺
Yes, it is a wonderful family show. They don't make them like that anymore. Thank you so much for watching today!
I’ve got to appreciate the hardships the pioneers went through. And yes I kept my Little House books, hopefully my daughter will read them too :)
Yes, I believe her stories will educate and inspire many generations to come. Thank you so much fur watching today!
I hoped my daughter would too but she wasn't interested
I loved reading books that were set in the mid West and one book I read many years ago was about a family where the main character was called Jennifer. It was set in the mid West I think around the turn of the century but maybe earlier. One book I read had the main story of Jennifer winning an oil lamp in a competition. I would love to read the book again and if not just to know what it was called so if anyone reading this could help it would be really appreciated. Thanks 😊
I have the set as well but unfortunately I didn’t have any kids and nobody in my family is a bookworm like I was which makes me so sad.
Good Lord I practically grew up in Walnut Grove as a kid - every Monday -Friday @ 5 PM WPIX, Ch.11 LOL! MY FAVORITE show growing up, I even dressed up as Laura Ingalls for Halloween in 1st grade. And I read all her books.
Ohhhh that's Awesome! Thank you so much for watching and I'm glad this adventure brought back some memories for you.
You made my life happy again watch ed this series since I was a little kid ty
Awe, I'm glad you enjoyed it and thank you so much for watching today!
The most beautiful precious memories of little house on the prairie, still bless my soul and God almighty bless you brother for showing all these something still lives in many hearts, wishing you all the happiness.
Awe, thank you so much! That was a fun day off exploring around and I'm glad to hear you enjoyed this adventure!
I was at Plum Creek after Laurapalooza 2012. I was the only one wading for about 20 minutes. It was so serene and I felt so connected to Laura.
I know just what you're talking about because I felt the same way. It was so neat to look out over the same prairie that the real Ingalls family did all of those years ago and see the same rock that Laura played on and mentioned in her book. Thank you for watching and I'm so glad you enjoyed this adventure.
@@TommyTravels I’ve been to three homesites. Walnut Grove, DeSmet and Mansfield. I loved the museum at Mansfield. I cried when I saw Pa’s fiddle and her wedding dress. Touring the house where she wrote the books also choked me up.
@@middlelle I'll bet that was really cool! I've been to her birth home and museum in Pepin, Burr Oak Iowa and I had a really fun day in De Smet a few months ago. I hope to get to them all eventually.
We were there September 2021, the creek water was so crystal clear, it made my skin feel soft. Also, there is a park we went to nearby that had walnut trees, and the walnuts were falling to the ground. Such a fun time :)
Oh my gosh! That sounds like the perfect time to be up there. I'm glad you had fun, and thank you so much for stopping by today!
I was driving through this past weekend and got there when the museum was closed, so I ended up getting some souvenir post cards at the local gas station across the street from Nellie's Cafe around the corner. Thanks for the museum footage :)
Ohhhh absolutely! I'm glad you were able to find my channel.
Incredible to see all the covered wagons circled in the photo of "Little House" scene.
Yes. That was really neat and thank you so much for watching!
Merci infiniment, pour ce merveilleux voyage dans le temps. 🙏❤
Thank you so much for watching today!
Adding this to my bucket list! How I love that book series!
Yes, you'll have a wonderful time there! It's a fascinating place to check out! Thank you so much for stopping by today!
My family was there in 1985 when going home to Oregon from Illinois. What a great experience
It sure is. I'm so glad I finally got a chance to stop by there and visit. Thank you so much for watching today!
Merci beaucoup pour ce partage de puis mon jeune âge des années 80 je regarde la petite maison Jusqu'à aujourd'hui je la regarde encore cette série magnifique les mots se sont pas suffisamment pour cette série je ne sais pas comment exprimer mon amour pour cette série ❤
I am so glad I cam across your video, I always wanted to visit the museum in Walnut Grove MN, I live in Springfield MO not to far from where Laura and Almonzo moved to and raised apple trees but I never even visited that place yet
Ohhhh cool! I'm glad you got to visit Walnut Grove today through my adventure. I love Springfield! They have a great Route 66 Car Museum there that I've been through and I had a blast at Fantastic Caverns!

I really enjoyed watching. I felt like I was walking right beside you on the trip.
Thank you so much! This was a really fun place to check out and I'm so glad you enjoyed this adventure. I also recently visited the Ingalls Homestead in De Smet South Dakota and there was a lot of cool things to see there too! Here's a link if you're interested.

@@TommyTravels there a lot of lakes there, and water attractions. Thanks for the video about Laura Ingall’s Wilder and Walnut Grove.
@@TommyTravels I remember when Paul Bunyan Land was at the corner of 210 and 371 in the early 80s. The helicopter rides were cool to see.
@@1BlubeTube Yes, I'm going to have an adventure coming out soon from Paul Bunyan Land. That place is cool!
Thank you for taking us for a tour. I’m a fan of the novel from Thailand. This is amazing.

Love to visit this place one day. Grew up listening to mum read all the Little House books and reading them all many, many times myself and to my children. Thanks for the look around, very interesting. Cheers, from Australia. 🇦🇺
And thank you so much for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed this adventure!
The covered wagon is YT gold. this walk and talk is a good video. I love it. Lots of good stuff to see here.
Thank you so much! It was a really amazing place to check out!
I have friends in that same county, and the next we visit we plan to visit this
Ohhhh cool! You'll have a great time! Thanks for stopping by!
This was a wonderful video. Thanks for talking the time to film it. I watched the whole thing. I should have been cooking dinner. Tears came to my eyes which is much more important than Tacos.
Lol! Thank you so much for the visit and kind words. Now go enjoy your tacos! 🤣
I live about 35 miles from Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Westville Florida homesite. I never knew she had lived in Florida until I came across an article about the historical marker that was put up several years ago. I haven’t visited the site yet.
Yes, Almanzo Wilder suffered some after affects diphtheria which the warm weather helped with. Ultimately, Laura did not like the humidity and the locals they encountered so they moved back to De Smet South Dakota. I've been to 4 of her residences so far and I'm hoping to get to all of them. Thanks for watching!
Nice scenery Tommy. Great old fashioned antiques
Yes, that was a fun day and thank you so much for stopping by today! 😊
une superbe série TV on ne s'en lasse pas j'étais jeune quand je l'ai vu la première et j'ai revue la série encore et encore en fonction de la période de ma vie alors que mes enfants sont grand je leur ai passé le virus 😊 ❤de Paris 👋
Man, this brought me back to a great place in my childhood...especially those copies of TV Guide!! I had a few of those!!
I think my favorite fun that room was being able to touch the fireplace mantel from the show. That was pretty cool!

Love this tour ❤ thank you for sharing
Thank you so much! I appreciate you stopping by!
This stop is definitely on my “travel to” list. We ventured through Missouri in 2016 but Mansfield was too far out of our way as we were heading home to Alberta.
Yes, Walnut Grove is a lot of fun. Mansfield is on my list too but they don't allow filming so I'm not sure how that's going to work but I'll show what I can.
Thank you for sharing your travel with us. All the way from Malaysia of South East Asia.
And thank you so much for watching! I appreciate your support!
Charles ingalls actual fiddle is in the museum in Missouri. I know a fiddle player who actually used Charles fiddle to record a cd called tribute to Charles pa Ingalls by Bruce Hoffman. He's a very talented musician and plays multiple instruments
Ohhhh cool! That location is on my bucket list as well and that would be really neat to see as well! Thanks so much for watching today
Loved this!!
Ohhhh thank you so much! Happy 4th of July!
While you were talking, I thought I heard thunder. I looked out of my window to see if we were having a storm.
Now I find it was you having a storm coming that I heard. 😅😅
That was a nice memory to show. Thanks.
Lol! Yes, it really poured there! Thanks so much for watching!
Awesome thanks for sharing
Of course and thank you so much for watching!
Wonderful!! Hugs from Brazil!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this adventure!
Great video. I appreciate you sharing this. I've read Laura Ingalls Wilder's books since I was a kid. I don't know if you know this, but Laura Ingalls Wilder's final home was in Mansfield Missouri. I have been there and it is a great place to visit. There is a museum there and much more to see. It is well worth the travel from where ever you might be. Thanks again for sharing. Take care and God Bless.
Thank you so much for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed this adventure! The Kansas Homestead and Mansfield are the only two places I have left to visit. The only thing is with Manfield, is that they don't allow filming in the gift shop or house, so I'm not sure how to make an adventure or if it. But I'm sure I'll figure it out.
Thanks for writing back. I really appreciate that. I meant to subscribe to your channel while I was there, but I got distracted and forgot. I'll get back to that soon.@@TommyTravels
@@waltmooredanwilson8754 Awesome! I appreciate the support!
No problem.@@TommyTravels
Thanks for this video. I like the Story of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Greetings from Germany
Awesome! And thank you so much for watching today! I'm glad you enjoyed this adventure!
I used to live about an hour from the Kansas location. I currently work with a girl who is I believe the great, great great niece of Caroline ingalls through Caroline dad’s side of the family (Quiner). I can actually see the family resemblance even . Kind of cool actually as I was a huge fan of all the stories and the show.
That's Awesome! The Kansas Homestead is on my list! I can't wait to get down there. Thank you so much for watching, and I'm glad you enjoyed this adventure!
I want to go see Grandmas House. The whole video was great. Thank you. 😊
My grandparents moved to California from Arkansas and Missouri. My grandfather served in WW1. My grandmother taught in a one room school house.
Awe, thank you so much for stopping by today! I'm so glad you enjoyed this adventure.
I love the laura ingalls books I have always wanted to visit this museum, great video
Thank you so much! I appreciate you stopping by today!
I can't wait to watch more of your travel videos
@@northerngamer207 Awesome! There's quite a few of them out there! 😊
Really enjoyed this, so informative and you include so much and make it very interesting to watch , thanks Tommy. Love your upbeat attitude too, from here in the UK ❤
Ohhhh thank you so much for watching. That was a really fun place to check out and I'm so glad you enjoyed this adventure! 😊
I love it!
Thank you so much!
I always lovet the layout of their house. Cosy as hell. Just my taste.
Absolutely! Thanks so much for stopping by today!
Pa's real fiddle is in Laura's house in Mansfield, MO. I burst into tears when I saw it.
I want to go there to but they don't allow filming so I'm not sure how I'm going to do that adventure.
@@TommyTravels You might get a special dispensation.
When I went there, lo these many years ago, the tour guides had all known Laura personally so you could tour different times and get different stories.
I loved when they brought us through the kitchen. There was a little two-burner electric stove. The lady said that Laura still preferred to cook on her wood stove and primarily used the electric stove to boil water and heat leftovers. "We call it 'Laura's microwave.'"
@@thesisypheanjournal1271Ohhhh that's Awesome!
Thank-you for sharing use to watch this show
And thank you so much for stopping by! That was a really fun place to check out!
It was a good idea for them to show that one soddy with one of the walls incomplete on the inside to show people what the construction of it was like. The remaining walls are finished in a smoothed out “plaster” and then whitewashed so the house is bright and clean as any other house. Sod houses even had at least one window in the front most of the time too so it’s not as bad as most people imagine it to be.
I also enjoyed seeing the site of the Ingalls original sod house on Plum Creek and imagining them living there. It certainly was out of the way indeed! But who could resist living that near a creek?!
I am currently listening to the audio books on you tube at bed time and I’m an “old lady”. Thanks for the tour. 🌾💕
Absolutely! Thank you for the information! I'm glad you enjoyed this adventure and I appreciate you stopping by today!
Really enjoyed this calming video and music.
Thank you so much! I appreciate you stopping by!
Gracias Tommy este es un lindo video yo soy un fanático de Little house in the prairie y tú haz echo un excelente trabajo Saludos desde Maryland USA.God always bless you.🙏🙏🙏
Ohhhh good, I'm glad you enjoyed this adventure and thank you so much for watching today!
Thank you so much! I loved every bit of your video, commentary was so wonderful!, and i am now so anxious to make a trip here too. I’ve recently moved to Wisconsin and I think it’s possible now, maybe not a day trip, but definitely doable.
Awesome! I'm so glad you enjoyed this adventure! It was really fun and if you're in Wisconsin you should also check out the birth home and museum of Laura Ingalls Wilder in Pepin Wisconsin. It's was one of my first adventures and I had a great time there too!
@@TommyTravels i will definitely check that out too! thanks so much Tommy :)
Omg I'm in love with your channel Tommy. I'm a child of the 80s and my mother n father had all five of us kids watch every episode of Little house 🏠 on the Prarie. I even bought all the seasons 2 years ago. I subscribed to your channel and now I watch. How cool is this
Awe thank you so much! You're comment made my night! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed this adventure and welcome aboard!
@@TommyTravels your so welcome dear and I can't wait to watch all your videos n more to come . Yayayay
Thank you for this informative video.... from the bottom of my heart. I am an Ingalls relative and trying to learn more about my family from my dad's side. I've come to find my love for literature and language may have trickled down the family tree. I plan to do my own traveling to find these types of places. I also appreciate the other's comments on Laurapalooza and other things I might visit.♡♡
Ohhh cool! I'm so glad that this adventure has some extra special meaning for you! This was a really fun place to visit and thank you very much for you support!
Thank you for the great video
Absolutely and thank you so much for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for this wonderful tour!! I read & enjoyed all the Little House books and watched the TV series from childhood on. If I can get to the U.S. I would like to follow the trail and see all the places Laura lived, and see Pa's fiddle. Blessings from Australia :)
That is so neat that this little adventure has reached all the way to you in Australia! I'm so glad you enjoyed this adventure and I hope that you do get to visit these places in the USA. The fiddle of the real life Charles Ingalls can be found in Laura Ingalls Wilder's final home in Mansfield Missouri.
thank you so much for sharing this. following.
Thank YOU so much! I'm glad you enjoyed this adventure!
I would have gone into debt in the gift shop!!!!
Lol! Right?!! They had lots of cool stuff in there! 🤣

Little house in the big woods. One I remember. What I thought was kind of neat about those books was the way it showed the pioneers the way things probably really were. Where I thought the TV show really missed. My sister used to watch that. Had Michael Landon. What stands out was a part where her dad was whacking a bear with a tree limb turned out to be a stump. But it shows the fear of the unknown and trying to raise a family as a homesteader. Well the uncertainty. Where the Michael Landon character really missed that. I felt her father in the books had a lot more character. My attempt to be Roger ebert.
That's very well said. I think everyone who is a fan of The books, likes them better than the series. However, the series certainly pointed a lot of fans towards the books to get the real story on the life of the Ingalls family. They kind of worked hand in hand.
