Photographer: Mike Stroud
Taken: June 1996
Caption: Replica of Ingall's 1870 cabin at the original site
Additional Description: The sign in front of the cabin now reads:
This log cabin resembles one used as the Ingall’s home in “Little House on the Prairie.”
The Osage signed the treaty selling the land to the government on Sept 10, 1870. The family home was listed as the 89th residence of Rutland Township in the 1870 US Census, and the family lived here about one year. In her book, Laura told of building the cabin, of encounters with Indians, of going to Independence for supplies, and of Dr. Tann's treating the family members for "fever'n'ague."
Dr. Tann's grave is in Mount Hope Cemetery in Independence.
