Little House on the Prairie: The Legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder is a one-hour documentary that goes beyond the famed Little House book series to the behind-the-scenes, true life story of one of America’s most iconic authors, Laura Ingalls Wilder.

Wilder’s personal story as a writer, wife and mother is a compelling narrative that has never been shown… until now. Her adventures come to life through interviews with historians, passages from the Little House books, archival photography, paintings from famous frontier artists, dramatic reenactments, a beautiful original score, and original artwork.

    I love Little House on the Prairie! Just disappointed that it isn’t showing on TV anymore. I love to come home from work, sit down & watch episodes of Little House. It relaxes me! Now it’s not on. I wish they would bring it back.

      LHOTP is showing on TV- you just have to have the right channel: Hallmark or UP. And frequently shows marathons.
      I too watched the series and read the books growing up- now watch reruns. Helps with stress.
      Would very much like to get this DVD; bought the book regarding Laura’s real life as well. Enlightening-

    This is one of my all time favorites. I love the wholesome, simple life they lead and all the importance they put on love and family. It always uplifts my spirit and makes me happy. I watched this series and then went to the library and read all the books as an adult. I love historical stories and that it was a real story. Family life back then was a collaborative effort that kept the family working close together for their survival. There were little outside distractions so the family stayed together as a unit until the children married. I always wish I lived during simpler times in such a cohesive and close family unit. I just watched the series again on Amazon Prime…it was a wonderful distraction during these crazy times of pandemic, tweets and social unrest.

    I have recently begun to re-watch the series on Cozi. It is one of the most remarkable shows ever made. It depicts EVERYTHING humans face, even today. The life was hard, yet family and community were so important. I am always ALWAYS uplifted by the stories! The show integrates everything that is lacking today: faith in God, family, hard work, love, forgiveness. The show also covers many issues that are present today: death, disease, racism, crime, infidelity, hatred, women’s rights, bullying. The list goes on. Yet the show always deals with its subject matter with respect and optimism. Those are things we so badly need right now. It amazes me how relevant this wonderful show remains. I am going to make sure my grandchildren watch the show when they are old enough. It is well worth watching today. We have much to learn from it. Although it ran 40 years ago or so, it is still so relevant today. Maybe even more so.

    I love this show as well. I watched it as a small kid and I watch it today. I have seen it many many times throughout the years. I wished I lived back in those days. I know it was a hard life, but yet it was a strong feeling of home and safety. I loved all the episodes. I hope this show remains on reruns until the end of time. It will always be relevant.
