If you’re a fan of Little House on the Prairie, you need to add the museum in Kansas to your bucket list. The Little House on the Prairie Museum is located in Independence, Kansas. There are several exhibits, including a replica of the Ingalls’ cabin.
The family’s cabin is an exact replica of the original cabin described in the books and seen on the beloved series. It was reconstructed in 1977. It has been said that the original Ingalls cabin was in this exact spot though! You will certainly feel like you’ve been swept back in time.

The Ingalls family cabin has one room with a bed, a small kitchen, and nearby, a hand-dug well. Reportedly Charles Ingalls dug the well with their neighbor Mr. Scott. In addition, the grounds hold The Wayside Post Office. It was constructed after the Ingalls left their home but is still a great part of the town’s history.
