This was a great little stop. They have a post office, church, cabin, and farm house. Live animals are fun, and the gift shop had a bunch of really great and interesting things to check out.

Sweet spot to see how the Ingalls lived on the prairie. Nice farmhouse gift shop. Recreated log house in the correctly researched location. Pas original hand dug well. A post office and school were great also. I enjoyed a conversation with Rhonda in the bookstore about the Ingalls travels and their family relationships.

This is a neat little place. The entrance is hard to find as its hidden behind a line vehicles in their parking lot on the far north end of the property. Its good for family and a good history of the Ingalls familys journey across the plains. Seems to be a busy little place, with employees dressed in period clothing. A nice little pit stop in the middle of nowhere. Worth stopping at.

Great place to take your family for a little bit of true American history!

Alot of info about Little House on the Prairie

Loved it! Not hard to imagine the scenery back in the day

Must see attraction for families and pioneer fans! The cabin is a reconstruction but looks very authentic. Theres a one room school, barn with farm animals to pet, old post office which can be toured, and many pieces of farm equipment. Lots of choices in the gift, shop too!

OMG. Bucket list checked. As a fan of Laura’s books this did not disappoint. Also drive up the road to Mr Edwards’s grave. Such an awesome place to visit & know that I walked in her footsteps.

Pretty awesome to see. Really well kept buildings and fun to imagine what it would have looked like back the 1800s. Even if it is after-hours you can still tour the buildings from the outside.

This is a must see, short stop! If you have ever read Little House on the Prairie than you must stop and see the property. It is a replica of the original, but really brings Lauras experiences to life. There is a cute gift shop and restrooms available. Glad we stop to see this piece of history!

Such a great stop. I didnt even know it was here until I saw the sign. I parked my semi truck there and toured the grounds for about 30 minutes and kept on rollin. Friendly people and a good set up.

My daughter loved Little House books and show growing up. I was interested in visiting the site where Engles once lived. Sad to find out the land and well was the only thing from her time.

I grew up in the area an came here on a field trip in elementary school. I was back in town for the 4th and decided to take my family over to see it. It was pretty much as I remembered it. I was glad to see its been taken care of so well.

Great visit! Awesome hostess! Highly recommend for any one who loved the LHOTP series!

Such a pleasant historical site that is very educational and being able to see first hand the home of Laura Ingalls

Wonderful place to visit and the staff are inviting and polite but some area are not so maintained.

I think that if anyone has read the books by Laura Ingalls Wilder, one ought to visit this place. Its easy to get to, and has decent parking. Its a collection of buildings from the area, none of which have anything to do with Laura and her family. They do have a replica of the type of house she and her family may have lived in, but there is nothing in the signage, etc. that suggests how the museums curators made their decisions. In the end, if you want fiction, an image of Lauras stories, then this is a good place to go. It may revise the images you get from the pilot TV series, for example. The area is not grasslands, it is bright green and forested. If you want history and broader contexts, this is not the place for you. I wish the museum had more about the region.

Best free sunset tour Ive ever seen.

If you grew up watching Little House on the Prairie TV series or enjoyed reading the books, then this is a must see place. It’s a small place, so I wouldn’t advise you make this a destination visit, rather plan on visiting while passing through while traveling. A lot of history here! We enjoyed the stop.

Awesome experience, how life has improved.

Super cool and great history about prairie life and the life of Laura Ingalls-Wilder.

Very fun side adventure.

Pretty cool and lots to see and do. Dont forget to visit Mr Edwards grave at Harrison Cemetery that is close by.

Wonderful examples of bygone era. Laura Engles could write in word pictures making her writings seemingly come to life.

Interesting, easy to get around and see the little house and other buildings. Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area!

Ive loved LIW books since I was a child. Great experience to be able to see how the Ingalls family lived.

Great place to spend with your family.

Great place to spend with your family and friend

Great place to spend with your family .

Awesome place to see how people lived many years ago. Hard to believe this area once was nothing but vast prairie. Definitely worth stopping by. Only takes a few minutes and there is restrooms and an area for a picnic.

This place is pretty special. We haf the opportunity on the way home from Oklahoma to stop by and see the Little House (it actually is not the real little house but it is a replica of what it looked like). When we went there was no one there due to the fact that the visiting times were off season (it begins April 1st). However you can still walk the grounds and see the attractions from the outside, but you cannot go inside any of the things there since it is all locked.So they have the cabin from little house, they have an old post office from the time period and the school house. In fact if you go there and look at what they look like, and watch the television show the schoolhouse and the post office look very similar to the likeness of the schoolhouse and the post office on the tv show.There are other things there as well. There are quotes from the book by Laura Ingalls Wilder. There is an old time plow and an outhouse. There are also picnic benches and beside Little House there is a barn with farm animals. Even in the off season it really is a special place. We will go back there in the Spring or the Summer and spend some time there for sure. If you have some time while you are traveling, or if you live in the area and have not attended it would be a good place to go and learn about the history of this place. It would also be good to take the children for a field trip about American history and literature. I recommend it

My husband fell in a hole why were there nobody they saw it but they didnt come out and acknowledges they did not make an incident report they should really pay for this hospital bill

A great preservation of a important time in history! Laura Ingalls Wilder was an amazing historical author.

An excellent use of authentic buildings to tell the story of Laura, family and supporting chacters.

Absolutely beautiful. Breathtakingly peaceful

Interesting to see and nice place to stop and stretch our legs for a bit.

This is a lovely little museum off the beaten path near Independence, Kansas. It sit as close as possible to the historic site where Laura Ingalls Wilders lived as a child, from which she drew inspiration for her book The Little House on the Prairie. A replica of the Ingalls log cabin sits on the property. The site also features a school and post office which were moved to the site for preservation purposes, plus it has a gift shop. Admission is $3 for adults and I think $1for children. Well worth the trip!

This is a neat little place. If you know anything about Little House on The Prairie, youll enjoy this.Only thing is that the log cabin wasnt finished, which shouldnt be a big deal except they barely had the walls up and had been working on it for two weeks. Dont know what would take them that long or why it needed rebuilt again.

Another gem in a hidden country. Absolutely loved it.

If you watched the show or read the books come see this. Worth the stop on our trip through Kansas to Missouri. Good little history lesson for my son and a great trip down memory lane for my wife who read the books and watched the show.

One place my wife had always wanted to visit.

Came from all the way from Michigan. Everything was locked up but I walked around outside. But it was very nice. :)

After researching the hours on the website which said open March 1st, I arrived on March 4th to find the museum closed until April 1st. Very disappointed with that. But, I did walk around the buildings, read the informational signs, and enjoyed the site. Looks like they have a nice display. Id love to see the insides of the buildings so will come back if I am ever back in the area!

Super interesting and very informative, and friendly staff

This place is so cool! My children (3 and 5) lived exploring all of the buildings and it was so fun to learn more about the background of one of my favorite childrens books!

A prairie gem tha deserves more visits! Kansas is often over looked. This state has alot to offer.

So neat! And the staff was so friendly!

Enjoyed our visit and step back into history! Amazed at what they have preserved and the presentation!

Was cute little place

Verry interesting

This is one of my favorite museums ever!!! Great place to visit!!!!

A must see for all Laura Ingalls Wilder fans! Its small, but you will leave with a wealth of knowledge. Fun photo opportunities, knowledgeable guides.

Nice place to stop and get out of the car for a bit.

It was fun for the kids to check it out. It was a rainy day and the store wasnt open but we had a good time. Great photo oops!

Found a hole while that I fell in and when I called it in they offered nothing and said Oh I will get the maintenance to look at it.

Despite the weather and off the path of heading home (to Ohio) from our vacation from Colorado Springs, I was happy to have seen this! The lady in the store was super sweet and made the trip worth it!!!

Well kept property great place to stretch the legs and imagine how life was.

They were closed for the season, but still a nice little stop if you are out this way.

The children really enjoyed it and me as well friendly staff in the gift shop highly recommended

Such a wonderful reminder of a simpler life lived on the prairie. While not easier, definitely more focused on the important things in life.

Very interesting place. Dont use GPS youll end up in a field 10 miles away!

What a lovely place! I couldn’t stop smiling with enjoyment as I relived the Little House books️ Everyone working there is so kind and a wealth of information. Make sure to put this stop on your family road trip, it’s worth every minute!

Costs 3 dollars for adults and 1 dollar for children. They did not have furniture in the little house yet. The little how is what they think it would look like.For 3 dollars a person I was hoping for more. The only thing that was original was the well but you cant see down it or see a picture of what it would look like. They put cement on top for safety reasons. I feel like a plixyglass would be better than cement.The gifted shop was nice as well as the lady working in it.

Its exciting to visit a site thats linked to the little house tv series i grew up with

Glad we stopped, it was good to take a look in the past. The caretaker greeted us with a welcoming hello and a smile. Kids were interested and the buildings were kept up well.

Nice break from the road. Over the years the owners have made great strides to add to and improve your time spent there.

You dont have to worry about hours because you can always come and look around outside.

Good place for families to see

An awesome walk through time. The signage really helps stitch together the Ingalls Familys travels, and the different exhibits allow you to connect with a time some still romanticize about.

Cool but hard to find

My niece loved it

What a beautiful place

Pleasant. Primarily a remake of the little house, surrounded by period structures. Visit was easy.

Website said they would open for the season on March 1st. Apparently they decided April 1st. You could still walk around but all buildings were locked. Please correct your information. Thanks.

I loved it.

Great history lesson. Cool place to spend some free time

Very nostalgic

Such a great peaceful place. Not many signs so make sure you GPS directions.

This is a wonderful little stop. If youre in the area, definitely stop in. You can visit any time, even if the gift shop is closed. So wonderful to see this little piece of literary history.

Ha! That was fun. Had a really great visit

Awesome site. Very authentic and interesting. Loved it.

Very interesting little museum. The tour of the little house, post office, and school house is self guided and the signs outside the buildings give some history behind each structure. It was a good little break for our family road trip across Kansas.

Beautiful little plot of land in southern Kansas, on the approximate spot where the Ingalls family set up their claim in disputed Osage territory. Theres a great reproduction of the log cabin Pa (and Ma) built, a period-specific one-room school house, a local post office that wasnt functioning during the Kansas books, but shortly after; as well as the actual preserved hand-dug well Pa and a neighbor nearly died digging. The self-tour is well marked with interesting signage, and theres a donation box to help keep the place spiffy. Its not as involved and engaging as the working Homestead or the city historical sites in Nebraska, but if your family is a Little House fan, its a great stop if youre anywhere near the area.

I would love to return when its open so I can go inside the church & home. But I enjoyed going for the 1st time.

I mostly just stopped for a geocache, but it was an excellent geocache LOL. The outbuildings were interesting as well as the inside museum and tiny gift shop. See how Laura lived!

The kids had a blast exploring this quaint museum set up. Their favorite was the old school house. We were sad that we couldnt see in the original cabin due to storm damage, hopefully they will raise the funds to do the fixes on the cabin, soon! This was a good picnic pit stop on our way home from Oklahoma.

Highly recommend stopping. Loved the little gift shop too...

It was neat. I enjoyed it. Laura Ingles Wilder lived an amazing life and Im glad she wrote about it. The donkeys near by made it even for fun. I love donkeys!

It was great learn about the history of the The ingles family

Private on museum $3. For adults $1 for children

What a neat place!! We went after hours but were still able to look around the grounds and there is alot of information posted around.

Very cute little place to stop and stretch your legs.

This is a wonderful stop if you loved the little house books or the series! My kids and grandkids had a wonderful time.

Nice place, but very little of the museum actually has to do with Laura Ingalls Wilder. Most of it is local history, which is still interesting, just not what we were expecting. Still a nice stop, though.

Wonderful presentation. Worth the drive.

It was worth the trip, very peaceful and beautiful out there.

This is a charming Little museum on the prairie (pun intended). It is very informative, and located on the land which Laura Ingalls Wilder and her family actually lived. Several buildings, many quality artifacts, some livestock, and very reasonably priced. $3 for adults. Show up in the cool of the day because only the Farmhouse/gift shop is air conditioned. Dog friendly, restrooms available.

Had a great time with my Granddaughter and ggs. Talked about going for years when I was visiting. Finally did! Great place to bring a picnic lunch and hang out! Its an open museum with a replica of the original log, school house, post office, barn with animals and gift shop. We were really surprised! Admission is $3 for adults and $1 for 18 under.

Been here several times,always nice.

So peaceful, quiet, serene, well-kept and informative.
