Laura's Dugout Home on the Banks of Plum Creek

The Charles Ingalls Family's dugout home was located here in the 1870's. This depression is all that remains since the roof caved in years ago. The prairie grasses and flowers here grow much as they did in Laura's time, and the spring still flows nearby.

Marker can be reached from Redwood County Highway 5 (County Route 5) 1.5 miles north of U.S. 14, on the right when traveling north.
