Laura Ingalls Wilder Pedestrian Bridge
Description
This unusual predestrian bridge is located at the dugout site, where Laura Ingalls and her family settled along the banks of Plum Creek north of present-day Walnut Grove. The site is accessible by driving on a private road passing the farmstead and after paying a parking fee of $5, you continue following the curve toward the dugout. The dugout is opposite the parking lot which is separated by Plum Creek and the pedestrian bridge, located north of the parking lot, is the only link to the site.Facts
