The historic Kansas homesite of the Charles Ingalls Family looks forward to hosting guests beginning Monday, April 1, 2019.  The Little House on the Prairie Museum works to preserve the site where children’s author Laura Ingalls-Wilder’s family homesteaded in Kansas. Laura wrote about her experiences in the book, Little House on the Prairie. The site features a replica cabin; the hand-dug well by Charles Ingalls; historic Sunny Side School; and the 19th century post office from Wayside, KS.  Following opening day, on Saturday April 6th, all admission fees will be donated to the Kansas Children's Service League (KCSL).  The museum will recognize KCSL’s “Chairish the Children Day.” 

The site is open seven days a week 10 a.m. to 5p.m.,  weather permitting.   The museum is located just off of US 75,  12 miles south of Independence or 12 miles north of Caney.  More information is available at littlehouseontheprairie.com.
