“Note: the last tour of the day begins at 3:00 sharp, so plan accordingly. This was a very interesting look into the world of Farmer Boy, Laura Ingalls Wilder's book about her husband's childhood. THE HOUSE IS REMARKABLY INTACT. Anything that has been restored has been painstakingly researched, but MOST of the house and its furnishings are original. The barns are restorations using original foundations and some additional buildings have been added to demonstrate what a working farm of the period would have been like. The tour guide was fantastic and accommodated questions of all sorts. Only my 15-month-old was bored by the tour. The others (ages 11-4) enjoyed it and stayed engaged the entire time (about 1.5 hours). The admission fee is very affordable and the tour is EXCELLENT. Maybe re-read Farmer Boy before you go, because so much of the tour is based on scenes and events in the book. There's a gift shop with items at varying price points and many books. There's also a small self guided museum. There's a cooler with some drinks, but no food is really available on premises. There is, however, a covered picnic area with many tables on a concrete foundation. I highly recommend a visit to this site, especially for any Laura Ingalls Wilder fans.”
