tripadvisorA lovely and serene spot for a home. The tour was guided and touched on all parts of the farm. There is a lovely gift shop and museum as well of plenty of parking.
MoreCharming home that has been maintained where Almanzo Wilder grew up. A treasure to experience from the grounds, stable, school house and Almanzo’s house.all maintained by volunteers many activities and experiences throughout the summer.
MoreThis tour exceeded our expectations - and we were pretty hyped about it! :) We are big little house fans and our tour guide was excellent at involving the kids and making the books come alive! We also learned a lot about the history in the time period of farmer boy. Our tour guide was amazing and answered all of our questions and was so kind and informative. We had an awesome time on this tour, even if it was raining and we didn't get to walk to Trout River!
MoreWith the uncertainty of COVID Summer Part II, the family opted to take a shorter-than-usual trip to New York. Either my wife or I worked out that the Farmer Boy Farm was in New York, so we made the ridiculously long drive with our four kids (aged 9 and younger!) up to a few miles from the Canada border.Was here as the office opened. Took a little while for the tour to get put together, but was well worth the wait. Kids enjoyed seeing all the places in the book that they'd read about. Tour guide was very interesting and informative. Inside the house, I enjoyed that they found the ink blots on the wall when they redid where Alonzo ruined the wall and his sister covered for him. I'd never read any of the Laura Ingels Wilder books until I read them to my kids this past year, but it was worth the drive to almost Canada to visit this spot, even if the rest of our trip was hours and hours away. Kids loved it.
MoreIt was easy to find using our GPS though signage isn't the greatest. We didn't tour the inside of the home, but walked around the house, barn, and orchard. Nice little museum. I was amazed at the copies of LIW books in so many languages. Probably time to reread Farmer Boy.
