“Laura Ingalls Wilder's life and history”
You will experience a unique journey into Laura Ingalls Wilder's life and history when you visit to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society in De Smet, South Dakota. Take the Laura Ingalls Wilder adventure!
A pretty cool spot to see if you're a Laura Ingalls Wilder fan, or just want to get a sense of what her life was like. Hours are seasonal and extended during the winter, so be sure and check out their official site (http://www.discoverlaura.org/hours.html) before planning your trip.
Great stop for Laura ingalls wilder fans. Lots of authentic memorabilia there to see. Get to see real surveyors house and the house that pa and ma built and retired in.
Unless you’re really into Laura Ingalls I would avoid this. One of our four children read some of the books so she found this visit interesting. As for the rest of the group, totally not worth the road trip detour and expensive (relative to items to see).
You basically are paying to see 5-6 very small historic buildings that are about 200sq feet each. They give you a map that looks like there are 50 attractions on a walking tour but it’s literally a map of the city! Here is our bank, here is our town hall.... none of which have anything to do with Laura Ingalls.
:/
So fun to see some of the places and artifacts we have been reading about and grown to love!
Great collection of buildings!
