What's the name of this song being played? Did Pa play this one on his fiddle?

[liwfrontiergirl]

@Rusfi16 No, he didn't. It's just a waltz played by a fiddler. We had to use music that is within the public domain and fiddle music in the public domain is hard to find.

that was wonderful,  I wish you would show the inside of the home

[liwfrontiergirl]

Photography and videotaping aren't permitted inside the home. But hopefully this will tempt you to go visit so you can see the inside for yourself! :)

I just got back from Rocky Ridge. It was a lovely spot for Laura and Almanzo's final home. The tours conducted by the people there are excellent and you can tell they really care about Laura and her legacy; it isn't just a job to them.

Make sure you tour the Rock House, too. That's where the first 4 books were written.

Don't miss the Bookstore/Gift Shop! Lots of great things for folks interested in Laura and the "Little House" books.

This was very cool for me. I have been to Pepin, WI, Walnut Grove, MN and DeSmet, SD many times, but I have never been to Mansfield, MO. That is the one place I would love to see. Thanks for posting this!

Wonderful video! I try to visit there every year for the fall festival. It's a five-hour drive from where I live.
