"Little house in the Big Woods"

Donna and I enjoyed all the Laura Ingalls Wilder history. We stopped at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Wayside which is 7 miles North of Pepin, Wisconsin. This is the reconstructed log cabin that paints a charming and historically accurate picture of where Laura was born and what pioneer life was like. This is a picture of the land and trees surrounding the cabin.

It was pretty dark inside the cabin but I did get a few pictures. Donna is standing next to the all-in-one heating and cooking.

The attic over the main room would have been where Laura and Mary would have slept.

This cabin is quite small as most of the pioneer cabins were but below is a doorway to the bedroom off the main room where Ma and Pa would have slept.

We continued on into the town of Pepin where we visited the Pepin Depot Museum. This building was the original Pepin Depot and was saved from destruction years ago by a former railroad employee. Now restored, it is chock full of railroad and steamboat memorabilia. I will show pictures tomorrow of Pepin and the Museum.
