Laura Ingalls Wilder

Six books by Laura Ingalls Wilder are set in DeSmet, South Dakota, and you can see 18 sites mentioned in those books during a tour promoted by the Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society. 

Two houses are open to the public: the Surveyor’s House, the setting of By the Shores of Silver Lake, and the house Pa built for the Ingalls family, featured in both On the Way Home and A Little House Sampler. You can also visit the cemetery where the family is buried.

Theatre Trip

Every summer, Laura and her prairie are brought to life in the outdoor pageant “These Happy Golden Years.” This year’s pageant runs on July 11-13, 18-20 and 25-27, 2008.
