Q:
I will be driving through in February when the museum is closed. Can you still drive up that least see the house from the outside if they are closed?
A:
Yes, you should be able to see the outside of the house. It is a short walk from the parking lot.

You could probably see the museum (with Pa's fiddle and Laura's manuscripts and clothing and desk, etc) in that amount of time. You wouldn't be able to manage the house tour--that took about 45 mins on its own. Skip the video. You could possibly squeeze in the self-guided rock house tour since it's small and self-paced (you could do it quickly) on your way out. You can easily see the outside of the farm house. We only had about 1 1/2 hours on our trip home from Oklahoma, and we managed to squeeze in everything with 3 kids. If we hadn't done the video and had rushed a little more, we could have probably done it in slightly less time. The staff are SUPER friendly and will give you suggestions too. Bottom line, if you're a Little House Fan, this is the best of the sites I've been to and worth whatever time you can give it.

Q:
How do I get there using public transportation? Does the campground have cabins or equivalent accommodations to rent? Is there shuttle service between town and the museum?
A:
This is a very rural area, so there is no public transportation.
Q:
What time is the first tour? I didn't see a schedule on their website.
A:
There is one tour every hour and they start on the half hour behind the house.
