Wilder Pageant

Performance 9:00 pm
Tickets 888-859-3102
The Wilder Pageant is a
family-oriented outdoor drama based on the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder in
Walnut Grove, whose writings provided the inspiration for TV's "Little House
on the Prairie". It is a live performance each night with all
characters from the Walnut Grove area. Laura narrates the story,
reflecting on her life in Walnut Grove in the 1870's.
The Wilder Pageant is presented
every July on the banks of Plum Creek west of Walnut Grove. The hillside amphitheater has been developed to allow for extensive lighting,
sound, and special effects. Refreshments are available at the
concession stand, and the pageant grounds are sprayed for mosquitoes.
It is our hope that visitors will take with them a sense of history and a
deeper appreciation of the joys and hardships that challenged our ancestors
when settling the prairie.
