Last week we took the children to visit the Ingalls Homestead site in De Smet. It was a good way to experience a little bit of South Dakota history. We explored a sod house, or soddie as they are commonly called, and a claim shanty. A replica of the Ingalls home gave a realistic view of frontier life in the late 1800s. We had a wagon ride and visited an old church and school. The children made ropes, rode in a pony cart, and practiced washing clothes on a washboard. I think the children liked the horses and ponies best.
