Little Town on the Prairie
(continued from here)
Day 1
Two hours (about 110 miles) west of Walnut Grove, Minnesota is the small, quaint town of De Smet, South Dakota. It is here where the family of Laura Ingalls Wilder moved to in 1879. It is here where her books By the Shores of Silver Lake, The Long Winter, Little Town on the Prairie, These Happy Golden Years and The First Four Years take place.
There is a lot of Laura history in De Smet. As well as a lot of hands-on experiences …
There are plenty of landmarks, too. So many that I decided to break-up the De Smet portion of our trip into two separate posts!

I'm a big Laura fan (and not just because I share her name!). Reading your posts of the trip is probably the nearest I'll ever get to visiting myself so thank you so much for sharing.
A family suite at a B&B? Sweet! Looking forward to the next post while planning to follow in your footsteps next summer!
I read all the books growing up, but I have forgotten most of them. Your posts have made me want to read them all again! 🙂
I have been wanting to see this, but since you review, I have bumped it to the top! Thanks!!
Can't wait to share our school year plans with you … stay tuned!
See you at Irish Fair?
