Visiting the ‘Little House on the Prairie’ Homestead in South Dakota - Eater

"Corncob doll-making is just one of many activities — along with hay twisting, pony rides, and washing clothes by hand — on the Ingalls Homestead in De Smet, South Dakota, a tourist attraction that now draws more than 20,000 visitors every year. Over the course of eight books in the iconic Little House on the Prairie series published between 1932 and 1943, Wilder chronicled her life — or at least, a highly romanticized version of her life — on the prairie frontier. Wilder spent her formative years traversing across Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, and eventually South Dakota as her family — and thousands of other pioneers — moved west in search of a homestead." - Amy McCarthy
