It all started a long time ago in a little white house made of boards that I discovered Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books. Before anyone knew what was happening, I was “playing Laura,” visiting the Laura sites, and learning how to do the things Laura did around her family farm. In the words of my cousin, “Laura took over her life and everybody’s who knew her.”
When I grew up, I got my degree in history education, got actively involved with living history and historic foodways, and began to research the history around Laura Ingalls Wilder.
