Things to do
Visit the Little House on the Prairie in South Dakota
Fans of the Little House on the Prairie books can get a taste of what life was like for settlers at the Ingalls Homestead.

Enjoy a covered carriage ride just like the early settlers, or try some traditional crafts, such as making a corn dolly. With lots of costumed characters to teach you about prairie life, kids will love stepping back in time.
