Little House on the Prairie

Last week, on the way home from a Vocation Directors meeting, Sr. Ruth and I decided to stop at the site of the original Little House on the Prairie. The log cabin is located just outside of Independence, Kansas and was reconstructed on the original site of the house. (The well Pa dug is still there). This was the second of our "Little House" adventures. Last year we stopped in Mansfield to visit the house Laura, Almonzo and Rose lived in after their house burned to the ground. Only 5 more Laura Ingalls sites to go to!
On this site, they also had a school house from the period. I was excited by the school since Sunnyside is the school the my older sister Kathy works at.
What a great day it truly was!
