in the book #3 pa points east and says that's the verdigris river. that would be imposible. the river is on the other side of independance ks.too far to be seen from the little house.

We lived not far from Laura and Almonzo's house in Mansfield, Missouri when I was a kid and went there many times (which was pretty cool). It, too, was very small (the staircase leading upstairs, as I remember it, was very narrow and the ceiling was low and you would always wondered how they could feel comfortable in such a small house.

Just about a 20 minute ride outside Nashville Tn. is a city called Murfreesboro and "The Boro " has a replica of a small town much like the one you see in the LHOTP TV Series . It's free and you can't walk into the cabins but you can stand in the doorway (fireplace smell " and go into the one room church/school. The church also rents out for weddings. Don't mean to advertise but just thought that some of u little house fans might enjoy Cannonsburgh . I used to live there and visited often .

of course the land is still very much like it was back then, except for maybe more trees, but the land would still be the same.

My Grandma and grandpa got married there! LOL

Why didn't you video tape the inside of those buildings? I would have liked to see the inside of the school and especially the house.

@SheilaScarborough Baby Carrie was born though.
Hi JoyRider50 - as I mentioned in one of the comments awhile back, this was my first attempt at a handheld video, and I really didn't think it would work inside because it's a bit dark in there. In hindsight, it probably would have been fine, so I wish I'd known better at the time.

Hi nickwalco - Baby Grace wasn't born yet during the time the Ingalls lived near Independence. Thanks for watching!

Hi bluzdawg,
Actually, I did go inside, but didn't shoot video because it was really dark. I'd just started playing with a video camera at the time, and I didn't think it would be able to show anything in such low light.
There's not much in the one room; fireplace, table & chairs, a couple of beds and a storage trunk. Not the original Ingalls items, but representative of the times.
