About this listen

In the winter of 1879, a man by the name of Charles Ingalls brought his family to
South Dakota, fell in love with the area and filed for a formal homestead in the small
community of De Smet. Charles Ingalls was the father of Laura Ingalls, the author of
The Little House on the Prairie series.

Join us as we roll across the prairie in a horse-drawn cart to Laura’s homestead,
take part in a spelling bee in the 1889 Little Prairie School, drop into rehearsals for
the Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant and uncover treasures in the archive room at the
Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society Museum.
