At Ingalls Homestead you learn about Laura Ingalls Wilder and pioneer history by participating in a variety of activities.  Try driving the covered wagon and twisting hay sticks.  Make a jump rope and a corn cob doll to take home with you.  Participate in the one-room schoolhouse session to learn about what school was like for children living in Dakota Territory in the 1880s.  Everything offered is hands-on and children are encouraged to touch and feel.
