Check out this article about the ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the new Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum in Mansfield, MO: http://www.ky3.com/content/news/New-Laura-Ingalls-Wilder-museum-376797461.html

This is one of the few sites I have visited. Maybe I need another road trip.

Free for Kindle: Pioneer Mixology:: Switchel, Sack Posset, and Shrub by Robynne Elizabeth Miller


A quirky survey of Pioneer beverages. Recipes, tips, and a bit of history explaining the how and why behind what the settlers drank. From clarifying coffee with the swim bladder of a fish (um, YUCK!!) to making coffee substitutes with everything from grape seeds to sweet potatoes, this book examines period beverages and how many of them came into being. A fun, sometimes irreverent (but extremely well-researched!) book perfect for history buffs, homesteaders, beverage aficionados, fans of the prairie lifestyle.
