Walnut Grove, Minnesota: Laura Ingalls Wilder Sod Hut Spot

To find the spot where the sod house stood, there's a sign at the end of a farm's driveway. Once driving in, there's another sign, along with a box for the $7 it costs to visit the sight. From there, it's about a mile until you get to a parking area. A path takes you over Plum Creek to the spot where the house stood.

They also have events that go on in July during the time of the pageant. There is a festival in the park with games and crafts and such, a Laura and Nellie look-alike contest and lots of daily events that are planned. The pageant (outdoor play) has been going on for 30 years and is a must-see for Little House fans.

You list this and two other "attractions" together, and in the wrong places. The homestead is a few miles north of the "Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Highway," and is in fact a tour of a pile of dirt as described. The Museum is located in Walnut Grove, a couple blocks south of the aforementioned highway. The third item, the rock with a plaque, is near the Homestead site, but just off the road, and nicely landscaped. Also, in addition to the parade, there is the ever-changing pageant "Fragments of a Dream," performed on weekends in the summer at a natural ampitheatre a few miles west of Walnut Grove.

There's a little rock off "Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Highway" that marks the spot where the Ingalls family built their little sod hut. In the summer, they have a cheesy parade in honor of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
