look at that simple living can you imagine no phones, ipods, FB, IG, Google. smh no drama no tv clean music and no reality shows. life was simple. today's society is just out of control.
True, but can you also imagine no modern medicine, or indoor plumbing, or washing machines, and having to go to the bathroom in a hole in the ground? No thanks... I'll take today, even with its complications and stupidity. :-)
I love how that tv show reverence the lord and how kids had respect and fear of parents and authorities. Today they talk back and no one fears the lord anymore.
This makes me think about how quickly everything that we have and know changes after we're gone. In a relatively short time there's hardly anything recognizable about the lives of a town of people who lived there just 150 years ago, and it's hard to determine just where anything was...if it weren't for a hand dug well. So thankful for Laura's writings.
My great Aunt's school bus broke down in front of her home in Missouri. It was hot that day and the kids got off the bus to wait for a replacement and Laura brought out lemonade and cookies for the kids! One of her favorite stories to tell!
For your information, Laura and Almonzo moved to Mansfield, MO in the late 1890s. They built a farmhouse there and that's where Rose was born. Laura died there in 1957. I assure you, indeed, there were school buses in the late 1940s and the 50s. That is not an unbelievable story. It is just the thing that an elderly Laura would do. Visit the museum in Mansfield and see Pa's fiddle and listen to the real Laura speak. It's wonderful. Then visit the cemetery in the middle of town where Laura, Almonzo, and Rose are buried.
I love Little House On The Prarie. I watch it everyday. Life was so simple and down to earth. I really wish living was like this today , no phones , cell phones , no computers. Clean simple living.
And if we didn’t have technology we wouldn’t be able to watch it on demand. So for that I’m grateful. But I know what you mean about a simpler time. ❤️
As a school girl, my parents gave me "Little House in the Big Woods," which I adored. I read most of the series, too. I remember thinking, "If I am a lucky enough to have a litle girl someday, I’d like to name her Laura." In 1982 my Laura was born!
@@christianbrother4724 They did. Walnut Grove from the show is a real town and they have a huge museum dedicated to the books and the show. Many of the cast have visited and last year they had a big cast reunion. You can go outside of town to the site of the duggout house "On The Shores of Plum Creek" as well but the duggout house is gone now as it was really just a hole in the creek bank.
Jordan, you are inimitable and have such passion in your Vlogs! What an old soul, always keep the faith and a good spirit about you. I remain a big fan!
Oh Jordan, I LOVED IT! All that for $3.00. How cute was that lovely little gift shop and who wouldn't want to have a little picnic there. I loved 'Little House On The Prairie' and it nearly always bought a little tear to my eye. How funny was Harriet Olsen. The programme sure did make you appreciate the simpler things in life. Great vlog Jordan.
Harriet Olsen ( the woman who played her) was a Terrific actress... She never missed a cue ., her facial expressions , screaming , she was just a natural …...… we use to laugh , because in high school , my girlfriends mother , Elsie , was EXACT to Mrs. Olsen... From the way she looked , to the way she acted , both like the good things of life , but both , when it came down to it ., were kind and generous ., I still laugh to this day with Elsie ., who passed away now , we use to call her Mrs. Olsen … She was hysterical … these were good people … and we sadly miss them all
@@glitterachi6533 Mrs Olsen always pompous and rude to The Ingals just because they wore humble and hard working family had to work to survive her and Nelly rub me wrong way .Is ok like great things in life don't humiliate and rude those who are less fortune than you instead be thankful you're not in their shoes .Is shame people think Harriet was great woman in reality she wasn't .
@@sagitariosolitario774 the real Mrs Oleson was barely mentioned in the books, so her character is unknown. The actress who played her, Katherine MacGregor, was a funny lady, a great second mom to the kids on the show. And a good actress!
OMgoodness Jordan, you totally surprised us this morning. I loved this show, and along with the Walton's, were the true stories of families living in much harder times. 💯 Sure makes me appreciate life today. (altho I feel like I was born in the wrong decade,era) I sure wish I could travel around with you babes. Travel safe and see you tomorrow. 🦁
The ultimate " family " show every show ended with an " inspirational " message. Half Pint Melissa Gilbert charmed America as did 🏈 legend Merlin Olsen.
I wanted to love the TV show but I just couldn't. I grew up with the books, as did so many others, and to me, the show was nothing like the books. I know it's TV and "entertainment" not history but still..... I loved Michael Landon in Bonanza but I read a quote from him that said he was nothing like Charles Ingalls. He said Charles Ingalls was always in debt...etc. etc...etc. Basically insulting. This bothers me because those books were written as a tribute to her father. I've also read quotes from people who knew her that, Laura herself would have hated the show. It's a good thing that the show brought so much notice to the books but, try as I might, I just don't like the show.
That was a great show.. :) My daughter bought me the full series of Dr Quinn not to long ago and i also have the full series of little house and the Waltons ..
I grew up watching Little House and loved it! This was fantastic and I’m so happy you stopped. I live on the prairies in Canada and we have some old timey pioneer towns on display that I had to visit because it is so interesting to see how people used to live and how far we’ve come. It was nice to hear the nature sounds of the prairies in the vlog. So peaceful!
My father used to say that if more people could live that simple of a life, the world would be a much better place to be. My use of simple meaning without all the modern amenities like cell phones, electricity, running water, etc. I agree with him, it is so much more peaceful than the rat race we now live in.
@Ellie5621 Those days were simple, no where did the person say it wasnt difficult to live back then. That is your choice if you choose not to live like they did back then.
@Ellie5621 You do know some of us know how much work it is to live that way. We also know how simple it was compared to the difficulties of today. You would rather not because a bunch of settlers who kept themselves isolated went mad? I didnt know that was all settlers? Bugs and such eating them alive? That still happens today.....except now you have poisons in your food because no one likes those bugs....clothing is made of plastics now days, water is disgustingly polluted, need I say more? Hell yea I would love to go back then and learn the ways of that time
@Ellie5621 Oh and animals didnt have all this crap pumped into their veins making them unnaturally big. Who wouldnt want to live that way? I mean people can choose how they want to live but just because someone says it was simple they probably know what they are talking about
Just an FYI, it's pronounced O - sage ( like the spice, herb, or whatever) Nice vlog. As a native Kansan, I'm enjoying this swing of yours through our Great State !!
Thanks for pointing this out. I know it's silly but I hurt every time he said it. I grew up a few miles from Fort Osage (an historic site in Missouri) and attended Fort Osage High School, so of course the word was already familiar to me.
I do appreciate that you did this and took your time to read everything I don’t know why 81 people put a thumbs down it’s pretty rude. Thanks for the coverage I’m currently renting a house in Pennsylvania built in 1855 and I’ve been doing historical research on the builder learning so much I already found his gravesite and another house built by him up the street. Famous author Margaret Mead grew up in the house!
@Chris Rangel my great grandma who has passed figure it out and l my sister is the one who did the family tree since. So I dont know the name. But it's on Pa's side, one of his siblings
@@jamiecramer3579 lol not if they suck at spelling all the time and its litterally not even close. I didnt meet her. I was just told by my great grandmother we are and my sister did the math. Take it or leave it hot my problem
💋I loved this! Grew up reading the books. I have the entire box collection of them. They are just so precious. Also loved the show growing up. I just connect with everything that is good about a family going through things and sticking together in the Midwest. Blessings. ~Love and Light 💖Carli
That first room in the schoolhouse is the coatroom. Those cans that looked kinda like paint cans were what the kids brought their lunches in. My mom went to a school like this in Missouri when she was young. She is the one that explained the coatroom.
@Carol Young Because everyone deserves to be represented. Can you imagine growing up never or rarely seeing someone who looks like you in movies or on TV? I'm white and I get it.
I am almost in tears watching this. Thank you so much for posting. I have no idea why I'm so emotional seeing this...I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie and I actually watch the reruns every day. Laura Ingalls just knew how to pick out the beauty and enjoy the life she had. What a blessing to see this. I hope one day I am able to visit myself...
We went to a childhood home of Laura's when we did a cross country road trip in a RV. We visited Walnut Grove Minnesota and Plum Creek, the location of the dugout home, from the 4th book in the series. It was fantastic and loved the Little House series.
I’ve been there. I loved wading in Plum Creek. I’d just come from Laurapalooza in Mankato, and then went on to DeSmet, SD where she met and married Almanzo.
Thanks for the great tour!! We live about 5 miles from this and have been there numerous times. It’s a great place for kids and truly a sweet peaceful place to just relax and imagine what life would have been like back then. When our kids were little they got to have a school day there, dressed the part, took their lunches in pails, and learned their lessons. They loved it!!
So Awesome Jordan. Thank You. This is So Cool as Little house on the pairie was my Favorite Show growing up. So many memories of that show, i always Wished that Pa was my dad as a kid. Too Cool and Thank You Again Jordan. 💖
I grew up 15 minutes from the real Walnut Grove Minnesota. Many towns that they mention in the TV show I’m very familiar with. My town is never mentioned, because it was not established until 1900. They also have a museum dedicated to Little House on the Prairie in Walnut Grove. Growing up when I watch the show, I never figured out why it looks so different from the real place. Not realizing that it was filmed out on a ranch in California. And stuff was done on a soundstage as well. But through kid eyes I could never figure out why it didn’t look like the real place smile. In fact, I had swimming lessons in one of the towns they mention. The town is called Lamberton. They mentioned going there for supplies quite a bit in the show. As well as a town called Sleepy Eye in Springfield. Very familiar with these towns.
Thanks for the trip!! Just as a reminder, Appomattox was where Robert E. Lee surrendered, and Osage is a tribe of Indian and pronounced Oh' sage. Loved seeing how well done this is!
Nice! Although the focus should be on the books, not the show. The show was nice, but had very little to do with the books or with Laura Ingalls Wilder's life. Laura's family was made up of gritty, stoic people, but on the show, everyone cried and hugged all the time. :-)
I was weeding through all of these fawning comments HOPING that someone caught that and explained what Appomattox was! It's stunning how many people have no idea of the history of this country that they live in!
I was so excited when I saw the topic for today’s vlog! I loved the books as a child and later, the TV series. This was so interesting to me. I especially liked the Sunny Side School. Thanks for taking us here, Jordan!
Thank you for taking me back home today. I could swear I smelled the sweet smell of a warm sunny Kansas day. This vloge touched my heart, it brought back days of walking through butter cups, and the cool caress of the grass on my bare feet, and the sweet smell of clover in the air. God bless you Jordan. Thank you again.😎🐕✌♥️
I really appreciated this video. I've been really fascinated by history even though I hated learning it in high school because it was filled with propaganda and lies. Especially, which was a mandatory class, to learn Darwin's Theory of Evolution that in my opinion is the biggest lie ever told. As a history buff myself, I found Bonnie and Clyde to be a great study during the great depression along with other criminal aspects during the prohibition period and they don't tell you this but laws are made by fools that don't foresee the consequences of their own stupidity. For one of my characters that I made for Skyrim, the caption reads, "An honest life for an honest living", and it really captures the life of the Ingalls family. To this day, I wish I had a time machine to go back into the past and study many of the most famous characters and really know the hardships and achievements of their time. Julius Caesar and Genghis khan have been a great historical study too.
Wonderful vlog jordan!!! I grew up in the 70s watching this and still catch it some on insp. Thank you for puttimg my imagination to reality about their house!!
I have been there!! It is awesome to see you vlog it. I am excited to see where you are headed as you are going in the direction of my state! If you are going to Missouri Laura's home (actually 2 of them) where she wrote all the stories is in Mansfield, MO. One of my favorite attractions I have been to.
Bill Kurtis, one of the owners, was raised on that property. He is the Bill Kurtis of CBS News. He did the nightly news and the CBS morning show among many other news programs. He is a celebrity in Kansas, and has these Laura Ingalls ties too.
I live in MN and grew up 12 miles from Walnut Grove. My father set in motion the establishment of the roadside monument there that paved the way to the opening dugout site, museum, tourists etc. because he was the county engineer and discovered it while talking to the farmer while working with him on a road easement way back in the 50s. This is the only Ingalls-Wilder site I have not visited with my family ! Thank you, I especially like that you read all the nice quotes she wrote and that they posted.
Thanks Jordan! I bought every Laura Ingalls Wilder book with my own allowance as a kid in Toronto, Canada, and felt like I was seeing a shrine when you showed the well Pa dug!! It was an amazing video and well narrated. Thanks!
You should come to DeSmet SD where the family grew up and where Laura’s parents and siblings are buried. Laura and Almonzo had a baby that passed away and is buried in the family plot. There is a house that Charles built a home.
Jordan, wasn't there anyone else around there? There must have been clerks to sell stuff in the shop, but I only saw two people at the very end of your vlog (I think) over to the left. I would be concerned that there could be people defacing or damaging this site. Thanks for taking us to see it. It's very neat!
Lol, I'm sure it's secure. There were three women in the gift shop, you can see one's reflection in the framed items. edit: I'm sorry I laughed at your comment because I read "defacing" as "defacating". Lol oops. 😄
**SUCH A RAD VID JORDAN THX!🙌👏 I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED TO SEE YOU FILMED THIS LOCATION. YOUR DEDICATION TO THE FULL HISTORY & READING OUT THE SIGNS. IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. YOU RAWK! CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ONLY $3 TO GET IN!** I too grew up watching this show & reading the books. Had such fond memories flooding back to me. While viewing this. Holds a very special place in my heart. Remember balling when their dog Bandit died 😭 I was teased in Elementary school. Because looked like Laura Ingalls from the tv show. Had same color hair in braids. And for picture day. My Mom had sewn a dress, almost the exact pattern/color as hers. Even used 2 scrap strips tied to the bottom of my braids. A boy was mean & pulled on them. Everyone chanting mockingly: "Laura". I was a goody goody from Grade 1 - 5. Even getting an award for perfect attendance. Given to me at a school assembly. Ahhh seems so long ago. I love all the quotes on those signs. It still blows me away how the entire family all lived together in a 1 room cabin! And how they travelled by wagon. My Mom grew up on a farm. And went to a 1 room schoolhouse, just like in the tv show. Here I was spoiled by growing up in a big city. And a 2 floor big house. Pretty good for having a Single Mom supporting my bro & I. My Gramma looked after us too. She was my very best friend. **QUESTION: WHAT WAS THAT SOUND IN THE BACKGROUND? CRICKETS OR SPRINKLERS?**
I’m so so so happy that you did this vlog. I have always wanted to see this place. Little House on the Prairie was my favorite show as a child. Thanks for all you do for us 💜
Thank you so much for that tour and history of Laura Ingles and Little House On The Prairie. Did not know all the history behind the story, you did a wonderful job presenting that.
Thank you Jordan 4 I want to see Laura ingalls Wilder's house I wanted to go back but I could not because of my health and because now I'm in a wheelchair and would not be able to get into that so thank you so much I hope you get to read this 😍
One of my favorite tv shows. Grew up to them in the 1970's ( born in 1971) and still watch them today. The only one you won't see in its actual location is the one in Wisconsin because it was relocated and had to be restored due to decay. I live 2 hours and 40 minutes from Rocky Ridge farm here in Missouri.
This is one of my favorite videos.. I enjoyed it very much..The Little House On The Prairie had some great learning lessons..I still watch reruns on Cozi tv. ❤️🌈
I loved your video blog on "Little House On the Prairie" . It was great learning about history in those days. Always enjoy watching 👀 your videos. God bless.
That was freakin awesome Jordan. I live close to her home in Mansfield Missouri and u should try to go see it as well. Set up the same u walk around the property and go in the buildings. Her adult life with Almanzo was amazing.

For sure🙂

What?
Around 12:00 I think the Appomattox witness refers to Appomattox Courthouse where Lee surrendered to end the Civil War.
You need to go to DeSmet South Dakota where Ma, Pa and Mary Ingalls last lived. They are all buried there too. Great place!
You need to check out Mansfield, MO where Laura and her family last ended up.

@Carol Young Because everyone deserves to be represented. Can you imagine growing up never or rarely seeing someone who looks like you in movies or on TV? I'm white and I get it.
@TopFive Doa yep..
I am almost in tears watching this. Thank you so much for posting. I have no idea why I'm so emotional seeing this...I grew up watching Little House on the Prairie and I actually watch the reruns every day. Laura Ingalls just knew how to pick out the beauty and enjoy the life she had. What a blessing to see this. I hope one day I am able to visit myself...
I grew up watching “Little House on the prairie “ and still have my books that I got as a Christmas gift.
Thank you for sharing! 🥰🎥
Didn’t realize how many different places they lived/traveled to. Love the sound of old, squeaky wooden floors...great vlog, Jordan!
Those were much simpler times than today. Great job Jordan, thanks for sharing.
We went to a childhood home of Laura's when we did a cross country road trip in a RV. We visited Walnut Grove Minnesota and Plum Creek, the location of the dugout home, from the 4th book in the series. It was fantastic and loved the Little House series.
I’ve been there. I loved wading in Plum Creek. I’d just come from Laurapalooza in Mankato, and then went on to DeSmet, SD where she met and married Almanzo.
Home is the nicest word there is was said on the show and not in the books.
Hopefully you can make it up to Walnut Grove, MN someday to see the things that relate more to the LHOTP show in particular.
My husband and I traveled by car from WV to Walnut Grove MN three years ago..... there is hardly anything at all there..... was so disappointed.
🦁 Jordan, WOW!!! This brought back childhood memories. 😁. $3.00 to tour this whole area is Amazing. Another, Great Vlog! 👏👍👏
Thanks for the great tour!! We live about 5 miles from this and have been there numerous times. It’s a great place for kids and truly a sweet peaceful place to just relax and imagine what life would have been like back then. When our kids were little they got to have a school day there, dressed the part, took their lunches in pails, and learned their lessons. They loved it!!
So Awesome Jordan. Thank You. This is So Cool as Little house on the pairie was my Favorite Show growing up. So many memories of that show, i always Wished that Pa was my dad as a kid. Too Cool and Thank You Again Jordan. 💖
I grew up 15 minutes from the real Walnut Grove Minnesota. Many towns that they mention in the TV show I’m very familiar with. My town is never mentioned, because it was not established until 1900.
They also have a museum dedicated to Little House on the Prairie in Walnut Grove.
Growing up when I watch the show, I never figured out why it looks so different from the real place. Not realizing that it was filmed out on a ranch in California. And stuff was done on a soundstage as well. But through kid eyes I could never figure out why it didn’t look like the real place smile.
In fact, I had swimming lessons in one of the towns they mention. The town is called Lamberton. They mentioned going there for supplies quite a bit in the show. As well as a town called Sleepy Eye in Springfield. Very familiar with these towns.
What a great Vlog !.. I read the books, and as a family, we watched the tv show with our children.. Thank You!
That was really interesting ! I loved the Laura Ingalls books. I'm from MN, and my grandma brought me to the Laura Ingalls museum in Walnut Grove.
Thanks for the trip!! Just as a reminder, Appomattox was where Robert E. Lee surrendered, and Osage is a tribe of Indian and pronounced Oh' sage. Loved seeing how well done this is!
Appomattox is a wonderful place to visit. It is a national park, and children can partake in the Ranger program.
Nice! Although the focus should be on the books, not the show. The show was nice, but had very little to do with the books or with Laura Ingalls Wilder's life. Laura's family was made up of gritty, stoic people, but on the show, everyone cried and hugged all the time. :-)
You are the best tour guide. There was a mini series on several years ago of the true story of Laura. Sure it is still available.
Witness at Appomattox Courthouse is where Lee gave up to Grant at end of the Civil War. It means that guy witnessed the signing.
I was weeding through all of these fawning comments HOPING that someone caught that and explained what Appomattox was! It's stunning how many people have no idea of the history of this country that they live in!
Truly loved this one Jordan thanks so much. I will play this for my 87-year-old mother who loved L.E.W. books.
THANK YOU EVER SO MUCH FOR SHARING. I REALLY ENJOYED. ALL THE WAY FROM BRASIL. GOD BLESS YOU. LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.
I was so excited when I saw the topic for today’s vlog! I loved the books as a child and later, the TV series. This was so interesting to me. I especially liked the Sunny Side School. Thanks for taking us here, Jordan!
I wish Laura had more kids.. but something with the male children in the family that never lived pass infancy.
Thank you for taking me back home today. I could swear I smelled the sweet smell of a warm sunny Kansas day. This vloge touched my heart, it brought back days of walking through butter cups, and the cool caress of the grass on my bare feet, and the sweet smell of clover in the air. God bless you Jordan. Thank you again.😎🐕✌♥️
I really appreciated this video. I've been really fascinated by history even though I hated learning it in high school because it was filled with propaganda and lies. Especially, which was a mandatory class, to learn Darwin's Theory of Evolution that in my opinion is the biggest lie ever told. As a history buff myself, I found Bonnie and Clyde to be a great study during the great depression along with other criminal aspects during the prohibition period and they don't tell you this but laws are made by fools that don't foresee the consequences of their own stupidity.
For one of my characters that I made for Skyrim, the caption reads, "An honest life for an honest living", and it really captures the life of the Ingalls family. To this day, I wish I had a time machine to go back into the past and study many of the most famous characters and really know the hardships and achievements of their time. Julius Caesar and Genghis khan have been a great historical study too.
How'd they find the stuff at the post office and the log cabin and all to put on display
Books, t-shirts...bought in bulk. Sunbonnets and glass jar goods are probably sourced!!!
Hello Daze, thank you for the sharing, salute from France.
My gosh I can’t believe you did this vlog so excited I watch it every day
12:09 Appomattox was where Robert E Lee surrendered to US Grant.
Wonderful vlog jordan!!! I grew up in the 70s watching this and still catch it some on insp. Thank you for puttimg my imagination to reality about their house!!

Little House On The Prairie show Love Laura lingerie Wilder Love Book 📚 DVD📀💖💖💖💖💖🎵⭐️⭐️⭐️🌻
I have been there!! It is awesome to see you vlog it. I am excited to see where you are headed as you are going in the direction of my state! If you are going to Missouri Laura's home (actually 2 of them) where she wrote all the stories is in Mansfield, MO. One of my favorite attractions I have been to.
Bill Kurtis, one of the owners, was raised on that property. He is the Bill Kurtis of CBS News. He did the nightly news and the CBS morning show among many other news programs. He is a celebrity in Kansas, and has these Laura Ingalls ties too.
I live in MN and grew up 12 miles from Walnut Grove. My father set in motion the establishment of the roadside monument there that paved the way to the opening dugout site, museum, tourists etc. because he was the county engineer and discovered it while talking to the farmer while working with him on a road easement way back in the 50s. This is the only Ingalls-Wilder site I have not visited with my family ! Thank you, I especially like that you read all the nice quotes she wrote and that they posted.
I grew up on that show...still is the most wholesome show to ever be on the little screen.
YES!!!!!!!!! You are the best!
Love everything Little House.
Good pick!!
Being from the UK, didn't know about the books and the original family. Thanks for educating me!
Priceless....
So Cool Jordan.. really enjoyed this video... Thank you for sharing it with us... Jason 🙏
Great informative video! Thank you so much for this video!
Thanks Jordan! I bought every Laura Ingalls Wilder book with my own allowance as a kid in Toronto, Canada, and felt like I was seeing a shrine when you showed the well Pa dug!! It was an amazing video and well narrated. Thanks!
I grew up watching little house on the prairie. Awesome! Super enjoyed!
I've been there! It's a really nice place to visit. Also, the museum in Pepin, WI is really cool, too.
Great Job,Jordan:)Happy Landings!!:)
You should come to DeSmet SD where the family grew up and where Laura’s parents and siblings are buried. Laura and Almonzo had a baby that passed away and is buried in the family plot. There is a house that Charles built a home.
I'm a huge LHOTP fan. I've seen every episode. There I said it..
Jordan, wasn't there anyone else around there? There must have been clerks to sell stuff in the shop, but I only saw two people at the very end of your vlog (I think) over to the left. I would be concerned that there could be people defacing or damaging this site. Thanks for taking us to see it. It's very neat!
Lol, I'm sure it's secure. There were three women in the gift shop, you can see one's reflection in the framed items.
edit: I'm sorry I laughed at your comment because I read "defacing" as "defacating". Lol oops. 😄
I live ten miles from little house. Could of hung out! Lol
Jordan, this was a great vlog. The history was just super! Thank you!👍🏼😀
Thanks For The Video.
Very cool place. Imagine mailing your patreon packages from that post office! Love the little school house.
Could you visit louisa may alcotts home? That would be wonderful too.
**SUCH A RAD VID JORDAN THX!🙌👏 I WAS PLEASANTLY SURPRISED TO SEE YOU FILMED THIS LOCATION. YOUR DEDICATION TO THE FULL HISTORY & READING OUT THE SIGNS. IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. YOU RAWK! CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S ONLY $3 TO GET IN!** I too grew up watching this show & reading the books. Had such fond memories flooding back to me. While viewing this. Holds a very special place in my heart. Remember balling when their dog Bandit died 😭 I was teased in Elementary school. Because looked like Laura Ingalls from the tv show. Had same color hair in braids. And for picture day. My Mom had sewn a dress, almost the exact pattern/color as hers. Even used 2 scrap strips tied to the bottom of my braids. A boy was mean & pulled on them. Everyone chanting mockingly: "Laura". I was a goody goody from Grade 1 - 5. Even getting an award for perfect attendance. Given to me at a school assembly. Ahhh seems so long ago. I love all the quotes on those signs. It still blows me away how the entire family all lived together in a 1 room cabin! And how they travelled by wagon. My Mom grew up on a farm. And went to a 1 room schoolhouse, just like in the tv show. Here I was spoiled by growing up in a big city. And a 2 floor big house. Pretty good for having a Single Mom supporting my bro & I. My Gramma looked after us too. She was my very best friend. **QUESTION: WHAT WAS THAT SOUND IN THE BACKGROUND? CRICKETS OR SPRINKLERS?**
I’m so so so happy that you did this vlog. I have always wanted to see this place. Little House on the Prairie was my favorite show as a child. Thanks for all you do for us 💜
Thank you so much for that tour and history of Laura Ingles and Little House On The Prairie. Did not know all the history behind the story, you did a wonderful job presenting that.
Little house on the prairie was not easy living it was very hard for all of them so people let's get it right
Great video. Especially since I''ll never be able to go there. Thanks.
😀👉great video and love history.
I thought the white house was going to be set up similar to the way they had it, not a gift shop. 😬
I love this one! I've been binge watching little house on the prairie for weeks now 😂 thank you for this one, jordan 💞
Woohoo! Laura Ingalls Wilder is my favorite author. Read all her books and always wanted to go to the homesteads so thanknyou for this great tour!
That was really nice thanks for going and great camera work!
Thank you Jordan 4 I want to see Laura ingalls Wilder's house I wanted to go back but I could not because of my health and because now I'm in a wheelchair and would not be able to get into that so thank you so much I hope you get to read this 😍
Ahhh now covid. I'm UK and loving his trips. Carpetbagger is his pal and does great days out. I hope you are getting as much fun as me 🙂
The log cabin is the original tiny home! 😁 The pioneers
were badasses for sure! And modesty was respected.
One of my favorite tv shows. Grew up to them in the 1970's ( born in 1971) and still watch them today. The only one you won't see in its actual location is the one in Wisconsin because it was relocated and had to be restored due to decay. I live 2 hours and 40 minutes from Rocky Ridge farm here in Missouri.
This is one of my favorite videos.. I enjoyed it very much..The Little House On The Prairie had some great learning lessons..I still watch reruns on Cozi tv. ❤️🌈
Great vlog, always loved the show. Thought I would have gone there one day to see it. Still hope to. Thanks Jordan!
Well once again I've learnt something never know that it was based on a real person.
That was so awesome I loved that show and this really brought it to life! Thank you so much
I loved your video blog on "Little House On the Prairie" . It was great learning about history in those days. Always enjoy watching 👀 your videos. God bless.
That was freakin awesome Jordan. I live close to her home in Mansfield Missouri and u should try to go see it as well. Set up the same u walk around the property and go in the buildings. Her adult life with Almanzo was amazing.
Great vlog! I loved watching that show! Thank you for showing us around Jordan!
I grew up watching Little House. I really enjoyed this vlog!
