Those of you old enough to remember the 70s TV series “Little House on the Prairie” recall that it took place in fictional Walnut Grove, Minnesota. The book was based on the actual site which was in the middle of nowhere near Independence, Kansas just a few miles west of my house.
I wanted to get there before it closed for the season later this month, so I stopped by early this morning. I got there a little too early as the museum did not open until 10am. Fortunately, the ground is open to walk through. The only thing from the Little House that still exists is the hand dug well that went at least 15 feet deep before it was sealed up for insurance reasons. I will try to get back again before Halloween, when the museum closes up for the season.
