Description:

"My sister
Mary is the reason I am a writer," said Little House author Laura
Ingalls Wilder. Mary lost her sight at fourteen, and Laura became her
eyes, describing the world so her sister could "see" as well. But what
happened to Mary when she grew up? Come to the Museum to explore the
sounds and smells, the textures and tastes, of Mary's world. Learn all
about her life as a teacher and musician and take a look at some of the
books in her library. Sing along with some of Pa's fiddle tunes, weave
a beaded bracelet (the same as those Mary made for her sisters), and
have some birthday cake made from Ma's recipe. Free to the public but
registration is recommended.
