Laura ingalls wilder home6/26/2023 ![]() ![]() Several years ago, shortly after I moved to Arkansas it dawned on me that Laura had spent most of her adult life in my new neighboring state of Missouri. After all the pioneer times were sooooooooooo long ago. ![]() It never occurred to me that her house could still be around. However, it never really occurred to me that places might exist where I could go and see the things that Laura saw. I knew that Laura was a ‘real’ person and that the stories, although fictionalized, were based on actual things that had happened to the actual Laura. I have even been known to dress in Pioneer clothing from time to time. That somewhere deep down we “knew” each other and were connected on some level. As a child, I was often making things as they may have in the pioneer times. I have always loved the idea of self-sufficiency and living off the land. I have such a place in my heart for it that if I believed in reincarnation I would believe one of my past lives was during the pioneer times. In fact, I love just about anything to do with “pioneer” times and prairie culture. I love the Little House on the Prairie book series written by Laura Ingalls Wilder. ![]()
