Mansfield, Missouri Rocky Ridge

We left Kansas this morning and headed to the state of Missouri and our second Little House museum Rocky Ridge. This lovely museum was the final home of Laura and Almanzo Wilder and the place where she wrote the books we all love so much. Kay's roommate from college, Alice Duwe and her husband Wes, joined us on the tour and as you can see in the pictures they both joined in wearing red, white, and blue.

After visiting the farmhouse and seeing Pa Ingall's violin we drove to a beautiful Rock home that was a gift from Rose Wilder Lane to her parents. This home was built in 1928 and was an excellent example of the love a child has for her parents as she shares her successes with them in the form of a house.

I was so excited to see this wonderful place and purchased many items for my class next year as we read the Little House books each year in second grade.

Thanks Wes and Alice for sharing this special visit with the Sisters on Wheels!
