What a great place to spend some time to hear about the life of a woman who filled your childhood with great books, which led to a wonderful tv show. My husband and I toured both homes. We started at the stone home, and when we arrived, we were the only couple there, but that quickly changed. I actually felt there were too many people in this house at one time for how small the rooms were. We didn't quite finish the first tour, so we could make our way to the main house. The tours are every 30 minutes, and I feel 45 minutes would be more sufficient. Both tour guides were very nice, but when we arrived at the main house, which was 5 minutes early, the guide was rushing us inside, stating that the tour was starting. She did the same to the others who arrived on time, and told them to go into the dining room, while she talked in the kitchen. Due to feeling rushed, she became flustered and really struggled with information throughout half of the tour. Nevertheless, it was fun to see and hear about Laura's life and see her home and belongings. After we finished with the house tours, we visited the museum. They have a large collection of belongings of Laura and her family, and they also show a short film upon entering the museum. If you're a Little House on the Prairie fan, you cannot miss this tour/museum.
