When your hometown is known as the birthplace of Laura Ingalls Wilder, you hang onto that with both hands. And here in the Land of Laura, there are at least a dozen places where Laura lived at some point during her pioneer life... and all of them hold some sort of claim to shaping a few little tales on the prairie.One Sunday my friend Alyssa and I drove a few hours over to Pepin, Wisconsin which is the birthplace of Laura Ingalls. There are a few Ingalls in the cemetery here.
It was Laura days, so we hung out for the afternoon watching the 1800s village and then the festival vendors.
It was a nice way to spend a beautiful fall afternoon. We even stuck around for the hometown parade, which included tractors, marching bands, 4-H kids, and even a few wagonloads of Lauras. I was waiting for the Marching Lauras, but none of those.
