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.
