Laura Ingalls Wilder Birthplace

Here is Lorie at the Laura Ingalls Wilder museum in Pepin, Wisconsin. They have a pioneer girl that you can put your face through. We all did it, but the other pictures are on Elizabeth's camera and I don't have her camera right now.




























These pictures were taken in the doorway of the reconstructed "little house in the woods". We wanted to show how low the ceiling and doors were. Christie can walk through with no problem. Lorie is fine, also. However, Elizabeth's head touches the door frame!






















Here is the reconstructed log cabin seven miles from Pepin. It sits on three acres of land that are part of the original acres owned by Pa Ingalls. The owners donated the land to the city for the creation of a little park to honor Laura Ingalls Wilder. The log cabin is there, along with a picnic area and restrooms. The cabin is basically empty, except for a picnic table and a board talking about the history of Pepin and the Ingalls family.
