Sauntering, Our travels around the country
Maple Syrup Symposium (2007)
October 8, 2005
Took a road trip to Stockholm, WI because a drawing on a brochure made it look
quite quaint. With a population of 97 there wasn’t much to the town. However,
it is along route 35 which is a national scenic byway that runs along the mighty
Mississipp so it was a gorgeous drive. We went on a little ways to Pepin WI
which turns out to be the birthplace of the author, Laura Ingalls Wilder. There
are some pictures and artifacts in the visitor’s center and the Little
House on the Prairie books at a gift shop next door. The lady on duty at the
visitor’s center had some interesting stories and facts. The books have been
translated into 40 languages. The Japanese are quite enthralled with the
stories. One couple flew from Japan to Minneapolis, rented a limo, drove to the
site of Wilder’s birth (the wayside), got married and then flew back home.
