Later the same day we also visited Almanzo Wilder's home as a boy! It was really neat. The origianal house is still there, along with the same 84 acres. The barns burnt down but they rebuilt them on the same location. They dug and found the original foundations and rebuilt. No pictures were allowed inside :(. They had a lot of items from that time period in the house, the only thing we know for sure belonged to them was a quilt. They were more of a well-off family. I liked seeing the horsehair furniture in the parlor!
This sugar-maple was there when Almanzo lived there. It is around 180 years old.
They had these pictures from the book all over reminding you of things Laura talked of.
I even got the old pump working
The barn
Down by the stream they walked to
