I love anything from the old west. Thing were simple, carefree. People stood up for their beliefs and freedoms and religious beliefs, the important matters in life. KNOW MOST PEOPLE DONT HAVE A BACKBONE. MOST ONLY CARE ABOUT MATERLISTIC THINGS AND GREED.
My late wife and I read the Little House book series to our children then grandchildren. She also enjoyed watching the TV series on VHS tapes. Thanks for another visit to an Ingall's site. Y'all do a good job! Thanks! Bon Voyage!
I read a couple of the books when I was really young but I remember watching the tv series. Did you know that Laura was 65 when she put pen to paper? True story. See you next week David.
Hi guys. Loved that place! I am the proud owner of my very own loo. My brother an our friend built it an i finally got it to my house. I was putting the decorations back on it this week an i got a rake head stuck an when it came loose it hit me in the eye. Thank goodness for glasses! It still hurts but I'm fine. Found so many Indian tools in my brothers yard i don't know what to do with them all. It helps me to keep working cleaning out the house. Everytime i can't make myself work i go outside an find the tools an it makes me so happy that i start working again. Found a bright pinkish purple tool with gold in it. It glitters an is kind of florescent. It's beautiful! Thank you great video. Have a great day.
Glad you are ok after the great Rake incident of 2023. Least you have found some way to keep motivated. We know how much of a challenge that can be. We have our moments as well, seems like there is so much to do that it gets overwhelming. But finding a task to keep the mind from unravelling is always a good thing! Glad you enjoyed the video! See you next week.
Hi Steve and Andrea, thanks for this fascinating glimpse into a simpler, gentler and in many ways more caring age. We live now in a technologically highly dependent age. If electricity and internet fail, literally everything grinds to a halt and we run around like headless chickens. I often won more thought should be invested in surviving, if modern technolohgy were suddenly taken from us.
I read all of Laura Ingalls Wilder books. I still have them. I watch the tv show also up to the end. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family. Be safe and see you next time. 🥰💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍(🌹🐞🦂🌵)
I used to watch the tv show. Only read a couple of the books though. Glad you enjoyed our visit to Laura’s home. See you next week for another adventure.
This was very fascinating. It's so hard to think of so many people living a community-style life, with very little privacy. However, I know that was the norm, for many people back then... Those schoolhouses must have been something. The multiple ages' factor, the different levels of preparation, and instruction, as well as the social interactions, are simply mind-boggling. Thank you so much, Andrea and Steven, for another enjoyable, and informative video. 👏🌞👏
Ah Rhonda, thank you so much for your kind words. It does make you wonder but I bet kids learned a lot from schooling back then than they do now! See you next week for another “pin”.
Really cool to see this again. I visited here as a kid. My sister was a fan of the books so we stopped by on a trip through the area. It seems to be in much better condition now, but that could be just my memory playing tricks on me.
Hi Steve. Pretty interesting about her life. The books weren’t that big in England until the TV show came out. They’re doing a pretty good job of keeping this place up.
I think I wore out all the "Little House on the Prairie" books because I read them constantly. Always thought I'd liked to have lived like Laura, but there was a lot of work involved with just living. So glad they've been able to restore some of the old buildings.
I love these little house vids you make. I grew up dreaming I would be like Charles one day with a family like the Ingalls. Don't know how I thought that would happen but what a great subject to make vids about. I will have to visit some of these locations. I didn't even know they existed. Thank you for these vids!! 💙💜
You are more than welcome and thank you for your lovely comment. I think the TV show may have inspired your dreams about being Charles. Never did like that Nelly Olson! See you next week for another adventure
one of my fav tv shows growing up. LOL surprisingly the Pilot did not let me down in it's recreating the original cabin. from the looks of it, they didn't hollywoodmess with it!
There's nothing quite like home, especially when you've been gone awhile. The hardest part of life, is when you realize that the home you once knew is only in your memory!
@@PinInTheAtlas no, just my perspective on life, after having both my parents pass, and feeling that a special chapter in my life is all but closed off.
@@PinInTheAtlas Amazing to think of the literature and a 10 year TV show that came out of those memories and impressions ! Thanks for another charming video ! 🙂
Enjoyed the video once again guys! I liked the old one-room/building schoolhouse - - - i sometimes wonder, because of the almost individualized eduction received back then, if these kids didn't get a better practical & broader education than kids do today in modern schools? Seems like it to me at least. Like Steve said - - you had to grow-up faster in the old-days. Ciao!
They certainly did. Not sure what they are learning in school these days. Know it’s not history! Most kids can barely write especially now with chat gbt etc !
Great job on this one guys..I also enjoyed the TV series …an an old humorist quote from back in those times….Old Man Tucker was a fine ol’ man washed his face in a fryin pan” 😂..
Here is a fact. Their father was involved searching for a man involved with murder. When he came back. He wouldn't talk about what happened. Only there wasn't no more murders. The first home my parents own was a converted from a One Room School House. Usually in country school house. They would be taught arithmetic, reading and writing. Maybe some history.
@@PinInTheAtlas Yes it was on a 3/4 acre of land. Between a small truck farm and a farm that grow hay and sheep. It's in Western New York in farm country. On each back corner of the 3/4 acre lot. One side had boys outhouses and other side had girls outhouses. Which my father tore down. He kept the coal shed behind the house. There was left behind a few of the combination cast iron and wood top desk. Also there was a large ceramic container to hold water. Top it off right next door our neighbor husband and wife who operate the small truck farm. His wife was the school teacher for the schoolhouse.
@@PinInTheAtlas The house does still exist and somebody else is living there. Another thing there is a beautiful big maple tree in the front right corner. People would travel for miles to see it. Now the scary thing. In the back inside old cherry tree that doesn't bare fruit. In the opening there was a massive black spider lived. It over half the diameter of the tree trunk. It was so big it could carry away a field mouse. I should also point out. That we moved away in 1965. I would tell you more. But I don't lived there anymore. 🙂👋

Even some of the simplest things we have today, would be luxuries back then! Thanks for the tour!

It feels good to be caught up.😊
This was a wonderful excursion. Thank You, Gramma Candy
Thank you. I think we all grew up either reading or watching Laura on TV
Happy New Year 🥳
Great to see "how it was".
THANK YOU,,WELL DONE..SAFE TRAVELS,
Thanks for all your travel tips Ralph. Much appreciated
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE inside of the places. ALL THE BEST OF UR WISHS COME TRUE. ALL THE way FROM Idaho
Thank you Ana. Glad you enjoyed our explore. Hope to see you next Tuesday for another adventure.
Thank you.

Must have been a hard life although they didn’t have anything to compare it with. Have you seen our other Ingalls video in DesMet?
I have! Loved the kitties!
Very interesting. Thank=you as always.
You’re welcome Ken.

We all loved to hate Nelly lol, but did you know Nelly Olsen originally tried out to play Laura Ingalls. True story ☺@@PinInTheAtlas
@@OneStrangeJourney I didn’t know that! Mellisa Gilbert did a grand job
Nice video Guys ❤ amazing as usual
Thanks Seb. Missing you guys
Everything seems so well preserved and period correct...... except that one hiteous door in the schoolhouse 🤣😂🤣. Great video, well done, yall 😁
😂 yes. It is really nice to see how much work they put in to make them as accurate as possible!
❤ good one thanks A & S
Our pleasure Colleen.
one of my fav tv shows growing up. LOL surprisingly the Pilot did not let me down in it's recreating the original cabin. from the looks of it, they didn't hollywoodmess with it!
It was one of mine too Jen. Didn’t much like that Nelly Olson. Wonder if she was a real person or just for the show!
There's nothing quite like home, especially when you've been gone awhile. The hardest part of life, is when you realize that the home you once knew is only in your memory!
Is that a Laura quote Diane?
@@PinInTheAtlas no, just my perspective on life, after having both my parents pass, and feeling that a special chapter in my life is all but closed off.
@@diane1390 I know that feeling Diane.
A lantern was blocking his face lol
Did I hear you right, she was 2 1/2 when she was there and they only lived there for 18 months? That’s amazing! ..
Yep. That’s right Charley. So she was 4 when they left
@@PinInTheAtlas
Amazing to think of the literature and a 10 year TV show that came out of those memories and impressions ! Thanks for another charming video ! 🙂
@@PinInTheAtlas
Favorite memory :
I bought a used couch from the Little House costume designer ! 🤣
@@charleyfolkes glad you enjoyed it Charley.

🤣 glad you enjoyed it.
Never seen Little House On The Prairie; living in the Netherlands is my excuse, although I think it was on tv over here too :-)
Ahhh one of those family shows Peter
Where’s Stevens face? I had to pause and look. I’m on my iPhone. Weird. LOL.
🤣
What a tranquil place that is . Love the building and rich history. I liked Laura ingalls,, but I can’t stand the Program littte house on the prairie
Oh that is too funny. I hadn’t heard of Laura until the tv show then I read a couple of the books.
@@PinInTheAtlas some tv shows r good when they stick to the true facts
Bloody inconvenience about the Loo!
It certainly is Craig! 🤣
Everybody chasing dollars and cents. Most forgetting good common sense. You can this ditty to your rhyme, I use it all the time😊
Love it, yes and it sadly is true that common sense isn’t so common anymore. What’s the name of the twilight zone episode we’re living in?
Here is a fact. Their father was involved searching for a man involved with murder. When he came back. He wouldn't talk about what happened. Only there wasn't no more murders.
The first home my parents own was a converted from a One Room School House.
Usually in country school house. They would be taught arithmetic, reading and writing. Maybe some history.
I bet that house was nice.
Ah yes, the 3 “r’s” as they used to say.
