Comments on: Get Out and Walk http://beyondlittlehouse.com/2010/01/06/get-out-and-walk/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed America's most comprehensive site dedicated to the life, literature, and many homes of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Also, you can visit Royal Wilder and a few slightly more distant family members graves in the cemetery. Historic Forrestville preserves a general store from 1910. If at all possible try to get there when the Spring Valley Historical Museum is open. Because their Laura exhibit is great. They also have a pretty terrific A&W restaurant and their public library has an actual tree inside. You can find a description of my visit to Spring Valley in 2008 right here. http://trundlebedtales.wordpress.com/2008/11/02/spring-valley-2008
