Reviews of Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum (Museum)

Elaine McLane

Great to learn about Laura Ingalls Wilder. Being from MN we knew about her connection to us but it was neat to hear about the Wisconsin connection and history. Nice museum. Not too big but very informative.

Dave Oliphant

If you love the Little House stories this is a must see site.

Theresa Krout

Vedere il museo sarebbe favoloso .forse un giorno .....avrò la possibilità di visitare il vostro grande bellissimo paese .... In Ohio ho parenti lontani che sono immigrati in America nel dopo guerra. Grazie al vostro grande paese avete dato una grande possibilità e dignità alla mia parentela. Grazie dall Italia un grosso grazie

Wife loved it

I honestly did not know much about Laura Ingalls Wilder expect for the books she wrote. This museum provided a great way to start my family's journey into Laura Ingalls Wilder's life and the story behind it. The museum provided insight into the early life of Laura along with demonstrating what life would have been like during Laura's time. Even though it is small the museum does contain some items owned by the family. Be sure to also get directions to the replica cabin (Little House in the Big Woods). This spot is a great starting point to follow the journey the family took and the places and experiences that inspired Laura's books.

I wish this place was better , I had such high hopes coming here.

Dustin Tobin

Not to lengthy of a drive. Interesting & fun for whole family. Good goofy pics there you can do with the family

Hugo Hackenbush

There are no specific hours, visitors center, office, employees or volunteers. That is to say, if it is daylight you can visit. Plenty of parking. 7 miles from town. Note that the entire site includes: 1) house 2) sign 3) inoperative well 4) picnic tables 5) porta potty That is it. Nothing fancy.

Teri Malfait

Loved it but I'm a huge little house fan

This museum would be great for younger kids. Not a lot of real Inglass/Wilder artifacts, but interesting historical items.

Sergio Scarponi

If your near there and have an interest then you should go. I wouldnt make a special trip, but it's cool.

Jed Row

The museum was pretty cool. Kids enjoyed it. $14 for a family.

RICK LEWIS

Interesting place if you're a history buff. Makes you truly appreciate what you've got and how you live today. It was well worth the time and effort to visit.

Gnome and Fairy Pottery

A neat museum and interactive for younger kids and older kids as well. Our younger kids enjoyed playing in the “Steamboat” and putting on a bonnet before going to the “schoolhouse”. Our older teenage kids worked on their cursive writing and history of Pepin and Laura Ingalls Wilder. The sweet lady teaching the writing demonstration was so friendly, fun, and full of information! She was one of our favorite parts of the museum!! What a sweet little place to visit and worth the $14 visit for our family of 6.

Bev Holzheu

The museum was not opened at the time, but we were able to see photos and look into the windows a bit.

It was cool seeing the museum of laura ingals wilder, the different items were so cool to like the clothes or the old tools! I wish there was a little more music going through the whole thing.

Loved all the old quilts and clothes.

Aarin Erickson

Old looking place. But lots of history.

Connie Zimmerman

Was disappointed expected a more rustic building and more knowledgeable staff

Otto Wishman

Lots of information, nice people.

Sarah Cassidy

It was a nice stop on the way to the little house wayside. Might be a good idea to have directions to the museum posted at the wayside. I had a lot of people ask me how to get here. Said they couldn't find it.

Peggy Miles

Love this

Marlene Grunig

Great place

Frau Scientits

LHOP FOREVER! Wonderfully curated and I learned a lot of stuff I didn't know before. Stellar gift shop. Bought a kit to make my own Susan, the corncob doll wrapped in a handkerchief. Susan's a good doll. It's not her fault she's only a cornncob.

Eduardo Jurado

Very informative

Kay Elizabeth Hughes Marchand

The Pepin Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum was so well put together! It was well organized, items on view were labeled and explained. It was a great experience - so glad I got to visit!

Russell Holmes

Not much there, bit the host was delightful.

Marie Moore

Great for those of today whom never seen the tools of that era.

Andrea Myklebust

A small museum, lovingly tended by local staff and volunteers.

Carrie Powell

Good history of her birthplace. Not a lot of items that belonged to her, though.

William Fale

Very nice experience for our 9 year old granddaughter, who is really a Laura Ingalls Wilder fan.

Paul Oyen

A large museum dedicated to Laura Ingalls Wilder, writer of the "Little House" book series. Numerous original artifacts from their nearby homestead, and others from the period.

Albert Family Farms

Friendly staff

Melisa Round

A nice mixture of Laura Ingalls Wilder and local history.

Christopher Pfeifer

A pretty decent little museum. It is too bad there aren't many Ingalls artifacts available to museums. There are some beat activities here for the little ones.

Michael McCarthy

My wife is a big fan and loved it.

Robert Allen

Great for Little House on the Prairie fans

Peter Christensen

Great glimpse into the past.

Katie Boldon

Well, I won't be back. My daughter, who loves the books was not impressed.

Paul Kulas

A lot of things to look at! They have added a ton of stuff since the last time we were there!

love is forever

It's a great pioneer museum, not so much strictly Laura Ingalls history..

K. B. Harder

If you're already in the area, great, but don't make a special trip. It seems as though they took everything they could find with a little age on it and threw it in the museum. They do have two quilts, one that was Laura's and one that might have been hers or her daughter's, but everything else was just old.

Layne boldon

Not much here, but the gentleman working was kind and very informative.

Mary Hittle

Worth the drive from KC totally plus The wayside Cabin

Gerry Laureys

Fun place with a lot of interesting historical facts. A must see for Laura Ingalls Wilder fans. Don't forget to visit the original (replica) building and lake Pepin.

Paul L

Pretty cool place. Neat town.

Rob Buntz

Best Museum in Pepin

Shaylynn Hazel

This museum is so cool! Sure it's small, but you can actually see the exhibits. Not everything is behind glass. And the stuff is cool too! I love this place and go there often!

Terri Mueller

Very interesting. Lots of artifacts from the era. Lots of interesting facts about her life and family.

Janiece Buettner

This place is an awesome place!! I love it just the way it is! It has a gift shop when you walk in then there is a room off to your right and one off to your left. They both have displays in them which are really cool to look at!

Paula Scheller

Interactive

Michael Loomis

Not a real review as I was unable to visit the museum. Even though it it says it is open until 5 we drove 30 minutes to learn it does not open until May 1, 2019. Guess we will have to come back.

Sarah Gibson

Fun and educational for the whole family! Our boys loved playing on the big steam boat and in the classroom. We all enjoyed reading and learning about earlier life in Pepin, WI as well as life in the Ingalls family. Seeing letters written by Laura, quilts that belonged to her were really fascinating! Staff here is so kind and thoughtful, they answered so many questions we had, and even helped us when one of our boys forgot a beloved stuffed puppy at the museum and they mailed it back to us! We highly recommend visiting!

Julie Herrmann

There was so much to see and do from the museum to the scavenger hunt. The food was good and the people were friendly.

Sonja Richardson

It's quaint and beautiful. Made me really happy to be there after having read the Little House series.

Sam Smith

Such a sweet little museum with loving, enthusiastic docents. They don't have many of LIW's original possessions. Great museum depicting early white pioneer life. Well worth the stop with a nifty gift shop and great children's area. Nice bathrooms and well worth your time.

Alex Hardy

Such a cute place. I had no idea it existed before driving the great river road. I loved all of the history. Sadly, since the Ingalls traveled with most of their things, there isn't really anything that belonged to Laura in the museum. But that was okay. Still worth it.

We had fun bringing the kids to this place.
