  • There is a sleepy little town in Iowa called Burr Oak. It is in the heart of Amish country and in it there is a hotel where Laura Ingalls Wilder lived for a short time as a child. Join me as we check out the building and learn even more history about Laura Ingalls Wilder.

    My cousin, who is not a LHOTP fan, was on a road trip in Iowa. My cousin didnt know Im a huge LHOTP fan! Im really knowledgeable about the books, site, and tv series. She took selfie in front of this hotel 5 years ago. I didnt know she was doing a road trip in Iowa for some reason- she lives in L.A
    .. She texted the photo of a selfie of her in front of the motel and asked"where am I?" I immediately texted back- Ingalls hotel Burr Oak! She was shocked! I told her I had seen it in some lhotp book many years ago. It was in bad shape, and they restored it

    This is a great video, so cute and fun! My great aunt lived in decorah and when we visited her from NJ, we took a drive at my insistence, to Burr oak. I loved being where Laura had been. Hard to explain that connection so many have with the ingalls family. I remember just being astonished at how small everything was. Three to a bed! It's a great place to visit

      Yes, I remember I was on my way home from and adventure at The Field Of Dreams and I saw that sign to turn and see the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum. I just decided to turn in at the last second and I'm so glad that I did! That was such a fun tour and so informative. Since then I've also been the Walnut Grove MN location and that place was amazing as well!

    2:04 there is a house EXACTLTY like this Burr Oak Hotel in a small town in California Gold Rush country along Hwy 49. Exactly! Built in 1850s-60s probably. I wonder if someone bought blue prints from same place this Burr Oak hotel? I think the town is Sonora, or Columbia CA. Ill have to look at my Shutterfly account. All those Hwy 49 towns in Nor Cal popped up 1850s from Gold Rush! They filmed a few episides of the TV series Little House up there for historically accurate architecture, court.
