Little Homesteads on the Prairie

In DeSmet South Dakota, Keira and I visited a few of the Ingall's homestead sites.

First up was Almanzo and Laura's first homestead. The structures are long gone, but the prairie grass remains.

Next up, we visited the Ingall's family homestead (before Laura got married). The structure is a recreation, but it was built on the same spot as the original. 

This was part of a bigger exhibit that included farm animals, prairie era structures, crafts, and a wagon ride.
