Come Home to Laura Ingalls In Walnut Grove!

The Laura Ingalls Wilder Pageant is an experience like no other. It’s a look into what life was like in Walnut Grove in the 1880s as the Wilder family and Walnut Grove community members made their way through challenges, triumphs and so much more.

When you attend the Wilder Pageant, you’ll become immersed in the history of Laura Ingalls Wilder and Walnut Grove. Take a look at some scenes from the Pageant, then head over to the BUY TICKETS page to be part of it all!
