The idea that I could even visit where Little House on the Prairie took place thrilled me a little more deeply than the prospect of seeing the other LIttle House sites, because I never imagined the site could be found. When I read the books as a kid, I knew that the places with names --Pepin, De Smet-- could be looked up somewhere, using the encyclopedias and maps of my world, but the cabin out on the prairie didn't seem quite real, was deep in the most remote regions of Laura World for me. Certainly the book implies the cabin was bound to be lost forever, once the family had emptied it out and left it behind.
