Ingalls Homestead

About

A little place on the prairie where you can have some fun, learn a lot, and make some good memories.

Story

The Ingalls Homestead is just that, the land Charles Ingalls homesteaded through the Homestead Act in 1880 with his family. Laura Ingalls Wilder lived on this land from age 13-18. You can experience pioneering history through covered wagon rides, a one-room school session, hands-on activities and camping on-site.

Inspiring to put a place to go with the books and author. Deeper appreciation for all of the sacrifices early pioneers made. Owners very friendly and knowledgeable of area and author/books. Gift shop well stocked with memorabilia and pioneer items. Great place to camp!

I have to admit that I got goosebumps when we turned into the parking area of the homestead. My mother read the books to me, and I've read them to my children. It felt kind of like coming home. Nostalgia aside, the park really was neat. We had to stop and play with the kittens, of course. The hands on activities were a lot of fun, and the whole family enjoyed the play that evening. We were not expecting the multitude of mosquitoes that came out once the sun was low. If we go back, we'll know to pack plenty of bug spray, maybe a flamethrower. Other than the mosquitoes, we really enjoyed our visit.

My daughter has been reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder series this year and really wanted to stop on the way home from Montana. It was so worth it. I wish he had dedicated more time. The kids were able to wash clothes the old fashioned way, make a corn cob doll, make their own rope, drive a team of mules pulling a covered wagon. The visit to the school house was fabulous. So informative. The kids had a great time and so did I.

This deserves all its high ratings. The area is beautiful. The entrance price is high, but it really was a ton of fun. The exhibits-- like the sod house, shanty, and Ma's house--pony rides, covered wagons, pioneer activities, along with the bonus baby animals ( a whole barn full of kittens!) illustrated pioneer life very vividly--all while tying it into Little House on the Prairie. We also planned on only a short visit and stayed until it closed.

My wife and daughter wanted to visit as they were fans of the books. I went reluctantly, but was pleasantly surprised. Beautiful setting, great activities for the kids, and just peaceful and relaxing.
