Walnut Grove, MN - Laura Ingalls Wilder

It is amazing how much influence around the world that the TV show, "Little House on the Prairie," has worked to make Walnut Grove and Laura Ingalls famous. The Wilder Trail begins in Pepin, Wisconsin; treks south to Indpendence, KS; then heads north to Walnut Grove, MN, (New Ulm, MN, is enroute); and further west to DeSmet, SD. We have had guests from various parts of the country stay with us as well as a couple from England, who came specifically to blaze the Wilder trail, and attend the Wilder Pageant that is held weekends in Walnut Grove during the month of July. We had another guest stay with us who came from Japan because of the desire to explore this historic trail. This year the pageant promises to be as interesting as every and we hope that many more visitors discover and enjoy the history of a family growing up on the prairie in the late 1800's.
