Backyard of the Day:

Laura Ingalls Wilder Wayside, Pepin, Pepin County, Wisconsin

The Laura Ingalls Wilder Wayside AKA the Little House Wayside is located 7 miles from Pepin on Country Road CC near Lund, Pepin County, Wisconsin.

 

Endelig langt om længe... det vi egentlig er kommet for! Det lille hus i den store skov.

Finally at long last... what we actually came to see! The little house in the big woods.

 

 

 

"Engang for længe siden... boede der en lille pige i et lille, gråt hus, bygget af tømmerstokke, dybt inde i de store skove i Wisconsin. Store, mørke træer stod hele vejen rundt om huset. Bag ved dem var der andre træer og bag dem igen endnu flere træer. Så langt et menneske kunne gå mod nord i løbet af en dag eller en uge eller en hel måned, var der ikke andet end skov."

"Once upon a time... a little girl lived in the Big Woods of Wisconsin, in a little gray house made of logs. The great, dark trees of the Big Woods stood all around the house, and beyond them were other trees, and beyond them were more trees. As far as a man could go to the north in a day, or a week, or a whole month, there was nothing but woods."

 

 

Fra alrummet kan man se de to småbitte kamre og loftet, hvor Laura og Mary sov, ovenover.

From the main room you can see the two tiny rooms and the loft, where Mary and Laura slept, above.

 

 

Huset er en kopi af Charles og Caroline Ingalls' oprindelige hjem. Familien boede her til 1869, da de flyttede til Kansas, og Laura og Mary er født her. Efter godt et år i Kansas vendte Ingalls familien, som nu også talte lille Carrie, tilbage til dette hus. De solgte det igen i 1873, da de flyttede til Walnut Grove i Minnesota.

The house is a replica of Charles and Caroline Ingalls' home. The family lived here till 1869, when they moved to Kansas, and Laura and Mary were born here. After just over a year in Kansas the Ingalls family, which now included little Carrie, returned to this house. They sold it again in 1873, when they moved to Walnut Grove in Minnesota.

 

 

Skoven er veget for landbrug, og i dag ligger huset ikke langt inde i skoven, som det gjorde i gamle dage.

The woods have yielded to agriculture, and the little house no longer lies way inside the forest as it once did.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gammelt skolehus nede ad vejen...

Old school house down the road...

 

 

Pepin-søen, som egentlig bare er et bredt sted på Mississippi-floden.

Lake Pepin, which is really just a wide place on the Mississippi River.
