The Real Little Town on the Prairie

CNN has this interesting article about DeSmet, South Dakota, the setting for several of Laura Ingalls Wilder's LITTLE HOUSE books.

Over the years I've visited LITTLE HOUSE sites in Kansas and Missouri. I hope to make the trip to South Dakota in the next few years.

The Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society, which maintains two of the Wilder houses in DeSmet and publishes a regular newsletter, is an excellent organization which has been in existence for decades.
