One of the leaders of the Walnut Grove 50th Anniversary celebration is with us today! Wendy Sjoblom is a trained educator passionate about all things Laura Ingalls Wilder. She began working in Walnut Grove’s Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum in 2013, has performed and is performing in Walnut Grove’s Fragments of a Dream Pageant, and this year she is serving as the Event Coordinator…she's been really, really busy!
We talk about the roots of how this museum came to be (as well as how it's the best gift shop for all things LIW), and if the TV Walnut Grove is anything like the real Walnut Grove. Find out how the TV Show saved this little town as well as the infamous Pageant held every year! This festival attracts people from all over the world -- and the Little House on the Prairie cast will be there this weekend! Link to the museum and all info in the show notes-
