One of our first real stops (after visiting with family along the way) on our 2008 trip west was at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Homestead in DeSmet, SD. Jess had been reading the book series so it was fun to see where “By the Shores of Silver Lake” took place.
Kevin wasn’t quite as interested in the farm trip, but he managed to enjoy it. Definitely a stop worth while for anyone who was a fan of her books.
