Great video! I haven’t been there in many years and it brings back a lot of fun memories. My Grandfather and his twin brother worked for the Wilders on their farm in Mansfield for several years. They said that Laura was beloved by everyone, while Almanzo was pretty difficult to deal with most of the time. Rose had also gotten a taste of “big city life” and sometimes acted like Mansfield was a bit too backwards for her. My Mom always said she remembered seeing Laura and Rose around town. She thought a lot of Laura.
I used to watch little house on the prairie with my Grandmother, she said it reminded her of her life when she was little girl and her beloved father. My Grandmother was from Mexico and used to cross the Rio Grande on her little pony to play with the Indians until she got caught. Her stories of life and her pony filled my childhood with wonder.
When I was younger I never knew the books were about her actual life. I thought they were about a character. Thank you for sharing this. Such a beautiful place to have lived.
I have read everything Laura and Rose wrote in their lifetimes and have read many biographies about each. Interesting lives but it has been said Rose was the ghost writer for all the Little House books. They should be required reading for everyone as they give a glimpse into a life we can only imagine. I even have the Laura Ingalls Wilder cookbook! Thank you Jordan for another wonderful trip to a place I always wanted to visit. 😊☺️🥰❤️🦩🌴☀️🦩❤️❤️❤️❤️
Have you read Prairie Fires by Caroline Fraser? It won a Pulitzer Prize. It dives deep into the writing relationship between Laura and Rose. Awesome read.
Great Vlog. As is the case in many of the countless writers and artists homes you have visited - Laura Ingalls Wilders home was just as I imagined it to be. It never ceases to amaze me, whenever you visit these locations, how much an artists surroundings influence their character and the art they create. Many thanks Jordan for this enjoyable visit.
I was here in 96 and do much has changed. They only had the tour of the white farmhouse. They had pa’s fiddle in a glass case in the farmhouse along with lots of clothes Laura made. The rooms were so empty compared when I was there because they moved so much stuff to the museum. They did not have the stone house to tour. Looked so much different. My parents went to visit this and they showed up when there was a big celebration and lots of the cast from the tv show was there. So glad you went because I had no idea about all the changes and the new museum. We were there in April as well. I remember they announced tornado watches while we were there. Also driving here we could see a tornado in the distance. Quite unnerving. You will have to travel to more Little House places. Lots of them. I absolutely love content like this. Love seeing it in person because it brings the books to life when you actually see what you gave read. Thanks again Jordan!!
Lots of new updates since the last time I was there. I always loved the covered porch on the farm house, Later, when they bought and opened up the rock house to the public I LOVED the living room with the french doors and the beautiful view of the meadow. we were told, Almanzo and Laura moved back to the farm house b/c they missed it and were most comfortable there. Glad they spent their last years where they wanted. Wish I could read the articles she wrote in the magazines. Thanks for paying tribute to her.
It is such a treat to see the interiors of the houses, but I am disappointed that, after all this time, the outdoor signs do not acknowledge the fact that the Little House books were in fact a collaboration between Laura and Rose. Laura wrote down her detailed memories to the best of her abilities, and Rose, by then an experienced novelist, transformed those raw efforts into literature. This is made clear in the scholarly work _The Ghost in the Little House_, by William Holtz, which provides samples of Laura's raw efforts juxtaposed with Rose's skillful reworking of them. I was stunned when I learned that we have two remarkable women, not one, to thank for bringing the chronicles of the Ingalls family, as well as _Farmer Boy_, to the world -- and I marvel at Rose's loving generosity in choosing to let the public remain ignorant of the vital part she played in the authorship of these works.
Mom. born in 36 in heaven now and dad born in 34 and still with us...mom loved these books, became a teacher and had us read them and often we too had them in school...and we all watched the show...dad made a ranching change for us all at age 40 and we all really really learned so much in both worlds...mom was a teacher and went back to it when her kids got more independent and that health insurance sure has been a gift to them both...I do not think there is a way to describe how much this meant to me dear Jordan the Lion...and have passed this on to many places this morning,,,,I felt less pain this 11th Easter w/o mom, more happy for her on her journey...and this early spring tour...it is just everything...dad's mom was a teacher and all my siblings are and some nieces and nephews now...there was just so much solid love and peace on this Easter time post..you do a beautiful job..thank you thank you thank you...I was mom's first born in 1959....this whole thing just runs deep...I like old preserved things too..thank you, thank you, thank you, for honoring her and Rose and family and this continued real education,,love that you are splitting it..peace and love..thank you is not enough. Heart is full. Both of my grandmothers lived to 97.5 in age..they were 5 years apart...early 1900's born..both in first decade...outliving their husbands and one by 20 years to the day...God to me is very real...thanks again..you are just wonderful at this.
Hi Jordan, every time I remember 'Little House On The Prairie' it just fills me with warmth and a happy feeling, not to mention the hardship. I remember reading a couple of the books as a kid. I loved the TV series. Great vlog Jordan.
Interesting side: Dean Butler, who portrayed Alonzo Wilder, has restored Alonzo Wilder's boyhood home and it's open to the public as well. There were some YT vids on it.
I loved (and still love) Little House on the Prairie, the opening theme song always makes me feel very nostalgic. I am the same age as Melissa Gilbert, kind of grew up together 😉🥰 Great vlog ❤
Wow! I really enjoyed seeing the actual houses and graves sites of Laura, Almonzo and Rose Ingalls Wilder. They are beautiful homes and I love that they still everything that was originally there. I enjoyed watching The Little House on the Prairie show. I still watch it to this day, if it ever comes on. I've never read the books though. Laura Ingalls was so brave and strong. Thank you very much for taking us along with you to see this. Hello to Jah! 🙂👋
Thank you so much for sharing this with all of us. You visit so many interesting places and people, and when you post these vlogs, it's like we're traveling right along with you. You create a teleportation device for so many of us who are unable to travel great distances. Your Hollywood posts have been favorites of mine, but this one tugs the heartstrings, as I grew up watching the Little House TV series in the 70s and 80s, and read the books when I was in elementary school. Great job ~ Keep up the good work, Jordan! And again, thank you for taking us all along with you on your adventures. You're the best tour guide.
Awesome vlog, Jordan! I've always been a fan of Laura Ingalls Wilder and it's fascinating to see how she and "Manny" lived after the ""Little House" years. Not surprising the books were inspirational during the Great Depression when people across America were experiencing financial hardships.
Thank you for taking us to the famous Wilder houses and the grave sites and your personal stories are the best. I still watch the reruns of Little House on the Prairie, with my granddaughter.
Hello Jordan, Hi from England! The books are better than the programme. If you have not read them I highly recommend them. I have read them again & again.
Yes,when they show first srarted was in 5th grade. My teacher read us te entire series over the course of the year. We had discussions on how the books differed from the books.😊
The houses didn’t seem to be as old as I thought they would be. Must have my mind stuck on the show. The grounds that the houses sit on are just stunning. ❤️Jodie 🇦🇺
This is the content I'm here for! I'm a huge pioneer nerd, and a sucker for the sets and locations movies took place. Additionally books (when's the trip to Prince Edward Island huh?) 😋
Thank you so much sweetheart, I pretty much watch 12 and three programs a week. I will never stop watching them and I’ve never seen your program before and you really brought back memories and history. God bless you in Jesus name your friend KATHY 🙏🏻❤️😇🥰🌻
Thank you for this wonderful visit back into a precious time in American history. I hope that Laura Ingalls will continue to be celebrated for many years to come.
interesting fact. My brother's and I just completed selling our family farm which was located next door to the original Ingles farm in Minnesota. They shared a property line.
I love videos like this one. When people think of sightseeing, they often think of big cities, large monuments and corporately owned museums or natural wonders. But I like to go off the beaten path a little to see things that other people would miss. A great place to go is Desmet, South Dakota. Every year the entire town re-enacts a portion of the book "On the Shores of Silver Lake". It's such a treat to go sit out in a hayfield and watch this--a real slice of Americana. You can also tour the surveyor's house where the Ingalls family lived and the little cemetery where I believe Charles, Caroline, Mary and maybe Carrie (it's been over 20 years since I visited) are buried.
This is a wonderful place. But when I was there 2 years ago, absolutely no photos or video in the museum, or homes. Now photos, that's great? I might consider visiting again. Thanks for the tip. Laura Ingalls had a most wonderful lifeand she was a true pioneer.
We did the whole round of all the spots from Laura Ingalls Wilder birthplace in the cabin forward last year. We were in MN for over a day in Walnut Grove, Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum, we did the stage coach ride; it was interesting. It was at the end of our trip heading home. We were in SD and Mount Rushmore and Custer State Park where we saw hundreds of buffalo. If any of you can do that loop do. We came from PA did 14 states in 15 days, traveled 4,200+ miles, three time zones and a continental divide, on a bus trip.
I absolutely love Little House! Grew up watching. I just finished Melissa Gilbert's Back To the Prairie. I plan to go back and read all of the Laura Ingles books. Thanks so much for this!!!! Love it!
I am so glad you did a video on Laura Ingalls Wilder. She was an icon and a pioneer. I grew up watching Little House. It was one of the best tv dramas of the 70's. I enjoyed seeing the real house and the gravesite. Thanks for sharing.
Great job on the video of Laura Ingalls Wilder! I grew up reading the books in school as well. I still watch the reruns of Little House On The Prairie today & always have a good old time laughing & relaxing in how they lived there lives back then & in there shows today! I will show my nieces & nephews today & my kids one day. How you could live & still have fun during the day without tablets, cell phones & other gadgets or technology we have in todays world. They lived a simpler life with lots of love & care from there awesome parents back in the day. I’ll always enjoy the books & the reruns as long as I’m around! Thanks for the wonderful video of information. God bless you!
Thank you for this wonderful tour. I always marvel at how there were 4 Ingalls' daughters and yet we have not a single descendant from Charles and Caroline's ancestry. Rose was the only grandchild and she did not have any children either. Kind of sad there isn't someone that could represent them today.
Carrie had two stepchildren. I guess that is the closest we can come, unless you count any nieces and nephews on Almanzo's side of the family. There must be some because Almanzo had so many siblings, but I don't know anything about them.
Since Charles ingalls was from Wisconsin he had relatives back there. A dr my mom had in WI had same last name as Charles so she asked if related. He advised he was a distant relative.
I love little house tv show and the books and I’m at the last season and I’m reading the books today I just started again I love the show and books so much from my childhood and today I still adore the books and show
When my daughters were young (early 1990s) we went on a road trip with Granddad and Meemaw and our first stop was Laura Ingalls Wilder's home, I can see so much of the house has changed they have used lighter paint and it has brightened up the rooms at that time the Rock House had not been part of the tour and a new larger museum has been built. TY Jordan for sharing it makes me want to take my grand kids on a road trip to Rocky Ridge. Stay safe on your travels.
Seeing these homes that are part of our history is so fascinating. Laura and Rose were such gifted writers. Thank you for Showing these homes. I thoroughly enjoyed this online view.
Thank you so much!! I've always wanted to see inside LIW houses. You have no idea how happy I am. Rose never remarried after her and Gilette divorced. When I was 5, my Dad gave me the 1st Little House book. He asked me if I liked it and said, "Well, maybe there's some more." I was ecstatic when he gave me the next one. So every few months he'd surprise me in order with a book. I've read them over and over, bought every book that was a legit bio on Laura and when Dad and mother put on the TV show, I was not interested. It wasn't like the books. I was a very serious child. lol
I was able to visit there in 2002. Such history. We watched Little House on the Prairie, like many people growing up. Thank you for the video and sharing
I received all the Little house books for Christmas one year. I simply loved the books. I was onto Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden before long but. I loved seeing where they lived and the photos were done do well. It made me remember the joy Laura created around her life, To be honest my adopted father told me the books were lies and yes I understand how it affected me by taking the joy. maybe so, but those houses and that life was built by that family and successfully written about. That wasn't a lie. I do believe story time had the first book. Thanks Jordan.
Jordan you did a beautiful and thorough job on this! I watched all the vids on this in '21 (after getting my first smartphone) and you covered it best by far. I didn't discover Little House until 2016 and have been hooked ever since.
Hi Jordan, loved this video so cool to learn more about Laura Ingalls Wilder, I must have read her books at least three time each. I just donated them to our Friends of the Library so another person can read and enjoy them as much as I have, thank you for the great tour of her place
I am a big LIW fan, and I so appreciate you visiting and vlogging this amazing experience!!! I feel I was there with you and appreciate you showing everything and reading all of the signs. Thank you so, so much!!! And it’s great to see Jah, too. Thanks again!!!
Your videos are just so well done. I especially appreciate how you stay on historical markers and read them on the video. Your style with fully explaining what we viewers are seeing shows your well-researched efforts to really bring the places you visit to life. Your well produced videos allows viewers to really appreciate the locations you take us to. I also love the way you show the surrounding areas without fast panning. I feel like I can just sit back and enjoy the views you give us! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much! I have been to all the other home sites, even Burr Oaks, Iowa. I’m 80 so I don’t think I’ll get to Missouri! Hope you saw Pa’s fiddle. I just finished the book,”West from Home” a collections of letters written by Laura to Manly(Almanzo)Laura visited Rose in San Francisco in 1915 for the Pan Pacific world’s fair, in honor of the opening of the Panama Canal. She wrote letters home and I imagined Manly living in the stone house but they weren’t there yet! My son lives in San Francisco so we saw the home Laura lived in for 2 months. There is a do not disturb sign on the fence!! On Vallejo street on Russian Hill
I watched the series as a kid, & read the entire book series. When I moved out in my own, I left the books in a box that I hadn’t taken with me. They were thrown away, which upset me greatly. That was in my early 20’s. I am now age 58, and within the past few years, I purchased the entire series for myself again. Unfortunately, I haven’t read the new books I bought yet, but they are on my shelf.
Thanks Jordan for sharing this information with us. I love to watch Little House 🏠 on the Prarie. There houses are beautiful. RIP Laura Almonzo and 🌹 💐 🏵 😢
Jordan, Thank you for sharing this vlog about Laura Ingalls Wilder, and her family. I love the house. I loved watching Little House on the Prairie, and still watch the show to this day
Hey Jordan. Wish I'd known you were in the area. I love that this community keeps the Wilder legacy alive. While you travel the country showing us these places, I want to remind people to learn what's in your own back yard before you travel to another country. So much history here. Safe travels!
This is so special, this video got to my heart! I've always wanted to visit there but it wasn't meant to be. I guess I have a "unspoken bucket list" no one will ever know about (lOl), I can cross this one off that list now!!! Thank you so much, Jordan!!! 🌼❤️🌼
My home town ❤ my grandmother would go to her house for tea and desserts - I have books signed by Laura
I am a mega fan not of the show but the book the person I so would of loved to have met her and had tea with her on rocky ridge
Great video! I haven’t been there in many years and it brings back a lot of fun memories. My Grandfather and his twin brother worked for the Wilders on their farm in Mansfield for several years. They said that Laura was beloved by everyone, while Almanzo was pretty difficult to deal with most of the time. Rose had also gotten a taste of “big city life” and sometimes acted like Mansfield was a bit too backwards for her.
My Mom always said she remembered seeing Laura and Rose around town. She thought a lot of Laura.
That's very cool to hear!
@David Cox, thank you for speaking up and sharing your family connection. I would love to know more, if you are so moved.
❤❤
They lived long because they had naturally organic food
Thank you David Cox that means a lot too Me.
I used to watch little house on the prairie with my Grandmother, she said it reminded her of her life when she was little girl and her beloved father. My Grandmother was from Mexico and used to cross the Rio Grande on her little pony to play with the Indians until she got caught. Her stories of life and her pony filled my childhood with wonder.
Write them down! Heck I'd read them. Lost Americana if you will
As a young girl I loved these books and I still have my copies of the books! Thank you for another GREAT VIDEO ❤
When I was younger I never knew the books were about her actual life. I thought they were about a character. Thank you for sharing this. Such a beautiful place to have lived.

Have you read Prairie Fires by Caroline Fraser? It won a Pulitzer Prize. It dives deep into the writing relationship between Laura and Rose. Awesome read.
@@middlelle I haven't read it but I will- thank you!!
I have read and own everything I could get
My hands on I especially love prairie fires
You maneuvered this tour with a lot of humility and deep affection. Very much appreciated.
Laura Ingalls Wilder is an American Master.
A beautiful and cozy and weldecorated home even for today
Great Vlog. As is the case in many of the countless writers and artists homes you have visited - Laura Ingalls Wilders home was just as I imagined it to be. It never ceases to amaze me, whenever you visit these locations, how much an artists surroundings influence their character and the art they create. Many thanks Jordan for this enjoyable visit.
Almanzo Wilder's childhood home is still standing and open for visitors in Northern NY. I recommend it!
BEST VLOG EVER!!

❤ awesome video about Laura's life.❤
Great Vlog . I love Little House On The Prairie.
18 dollars is a really good affordable fee to see these two historical sites. I'm glad you chose to showcase them!

Jordan, I bet he'd give you an interview - he was very open to meeting visitors.
that is awesome

I live in Missouri and didn't even know this existed. Thanks!
I hope you go visit! There is so much more than I showed!
okay, now that is on my bucket list. What a beautiful place and great memories of such a great show!

Nice to see the homes of Laura Ingalls and where she wrote her books nice to see her grave good vlog Jordan vickie napa ca

When my daughters were young (early 1990s) we went on a road trip with Granddad and Meemaw and our first stop was Laura Ingalls Wilder's home, I can see so much of the house has changed they have used lighter paint and it has brightened up the rooms at that time the Rock House had not been part of the tour and a new larger museum has been built. TY Jordan for sharing it makes me want to take my grand kids on a road trip to Rocky Ridge. Stay safe on your travels.
What a beautiful stone home! Great video as always Jordan! Thank you for all you do!
This was so fun and nice to watch. Little house on the prairie was one of my favorite tv shows.
I can't tell you about the emotional reaction I have with Little House. Gulp, cuz I'm all choked up. Very near and dear. Thank you. 🩷🌷
Seeing these homes that are part of our history is so fascinating. Laura and Rose were such gifted writers. Thank you for Showing these homes. I thoroughly enjoyed this online view.
Thank you so much!! I've always wanted to see inside LIW houses. You have no idea how happy I am.
Rose never remarried after her and Gilette divorced.
When I was 5, my Dad gave me the 1st Little House book. He asked me if I liked it and said, "Well, maybe there's some more." I was ecstatic when he gave me the next one. So every few months he'd surprise me in order with a book. I've read them over and over, bought every book that was a legit bio on Laura and when Dad and mother put on the TV show, I was not interested. It wasn't like the books. I was a very serious child. lol
I thoroughly enjoyed this tour of Laura and her family. ☘️💚
I think I will write a story or two. This just reminded me that I should. Loved your video. Thanks for waving at me. Hi, Jah.
I live in Missouri and been there a lot... I love it takes you back in time once you inner❤
Such a little dementional house I love the pictures Jordan
Another great one Jordan. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing. Hugs to you and Ja
I was able to visit there in 2002. Such history. We watched Little House on the Prairie, like many people growing up. Thank you for the video and sharing
Thank you very much!
👋
Wow! That was Awesome! Thanks for sharing
I received all the Little house books for Christmas one year. I simply loved the books. I was onto Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden before long but. I loved seeing where they lived and the photos were done do well. It made me remember the joy Laura created around her life, To be honest my adopted father told me the books were lies and yes I understand how it affected me by taking the joy. maybe so, but those houses and that life was built by that family and successfully written about. That wasn't a lie.
I do believe story time had the first book. Thanks Jordan.
My Mom used to read the Trixie Belden books to me ,I haven't heard that name brought up for years .Those were amazing memories 😊
Jordan you did a beautiful and thorough job on this! I watched all the vids on this in '21 (after getting my first smartphone) and you covered it best by far. I didn't discover Little House until 2016 and have been hooked ever since.
Hi Jordan, loved this video so cool to learn more about Laura Ingalls Wilder, I must have read her books at least three time each. I just donated them to our Friends of the Library so another person can read and enjoy them as much as I have, thank you for the great tour of her place
This was a great view! So very much appreciated Jordan, Cheers! Luv&Peace Sean&family 💛✌🏼
Jordan, Laura and Almanzo lived quite simply it seems. Thanks again. Stay safe friend.
Bravo 👏👏👏👏Thank you much Jordan 💝
I am a big LIW fan, and I so appreciate you visiting and vlogging this amazing experience!!! I feel I was there with you and appreciate you showing everything and reading all of the signs. Thank you so, so much!!! And it’s great to see Jah, too. Thanks again!!!
awesome vlog of my favourite childhood tv series and the books 👍🏻
This was awesome! I am really looking forward to you going back and showing us the museum. I can't wait. Thanks!
What a wonderful job you did, thank you sir. Beautifully done.
Great video thanks for taking us along with you on this great adventure!
Your videos are just so well done. I especially appreciate how you stay on historical markers and read them on the video. Your style with fully explaining what we viewers are seeing shows your well-researched efforts to really bring the places you visit to life. Your well produced videos allows viewers to really appreciate the locations you take us to. I also love the way you show the surrounding areas without fast panning. I feel like I can just sit back and enjoy the views you give us! Thank you so much!
I am delighted!!!! These are my favorite Books! Thank You soooo much :)
Little House was my favorite....never missed a show. Thank you for bringing me back to love even more! 💕
Thanks for all the trips. Kisses to Jan❤️❤️
Laura Ingalls wilder is my favorite author when I was a young girl in way still day as adult thank you for sharing this vlog❤❤
Very enlightening. Thanks for sharing this, I learned so much and go to see it too!
You are a amazing story teller. Thank you for this story Jorden! I’d love to go see this area. Thank you thank you
“Little house on the prairie “ is one of my favorite show at my young times always enjoyed watching it
Thank you so much! I have been to all the other home sites, even Burr Oaks, Iowa. I’m 80 so I don’t think I’ll get to Missouri! Hope you saw Pa’s fiddle.
I just finished the book,”West from Home” a collections of letters written by Laura to Manly(Almanzo)Laura visited Rose in San Francisco in 1915 for the Pan Pacific world’s fair, in honor of the opening of the Panama Canal. She wrote letters home and I imagined Manly living in the stone house but they weren’t there yet! My son lives in San Francisco so we saw the home Laura lived in for 2 months. There is a do not disturb sign on the fence!! On Vallejo street on Russian Hill
GOOD TO SEE YOU AND JAH l!
I watched the series as a kid, & read the entire book series. When I moved out in my own, I left the books in a box that I hadn’t taken with me. They were thrown away, which upset me greatly. That was in my early 20’s. I am now age 58, and within the past few years, I purchased the entire series for myself again. Unfortunately, I haven’t read the new books I bought yet, but they are on my shelf.
Thanks Jordan for sharing this information with us. I love to watch Little House 🏠 on the Prarie. There houses are beautiful. RIP Laura Almonzo and 🌹 💐 🏵 😢
Thank you for the tour! You did an awesome job. Greetings from Scotland.
Jordan, Thank you for sharing this vlog about Laura Ingalls Wilder, and her family. I love the house. I loved watching Little House on the Prairie, and still watch the show to this day
Thank you for sharing this!
Hey Jordan. Wish I'd known you were in the area. I love that this community keeps the Wilder legacy alive. While you travel the country showing us these places, I want to remind people to learn what's in your own back yard before you travel to another country. So much history here. Safe travels!
Enjoyed very much..one of my favorite shows ..Little House On The Prairie..thanks Jordan!!!..its great you got a comp ticket
Wow that's cool i grow up watching little house
Thankyou!! So wonderful to see the houses. I got to visit there in the early 90’s. Remember seeing Pa’s fiddle
This is so special, this video got to my heart! I've always wanted to visit there but it wasn't meant to be. I guess I have a "unspoken bucket list" no one will ever know about (lOl), I can cross this one off that list now!!! Thank you so much, Jordan!!! 🌼❤️🌼
