"This was a nice place to explore and view some pioneer style living in person. A good place to stop and enjoy some history."
"This was a very nice place to visit. $5. per person. I love the sod structures and the interior inside them. Takes you to a time long forgotten. Kids today definitely don't know the struggles family's had to deal with. Weather conditions, living conditions, traveling in covered wagons, etc."
"The houses were very interesting. One house is spectacular and another dilapidated. If you enjoy the way things used to be, you will enjoy this. The smallest home has a search and find game that was fun. The owner is very nice. You need cash. 4$ per adult."
"Very nice look back to what a sod house was like. As a huge fan of LIW I was excited to get to experience it. Really lovingly put together and definitely worth $4. (It was 90 outside and blissfully cool in the sod house!) I wish there had been a bathroom somewhere because we had been traveling for awhile and we had to cut our visit short. Lovely conversation with the owner."
"Get an idea of how families lived and grow appreciation for our comforts we have today! No outhouse to use though, so be sure to stop for bathroom break before!"
