Laura Keyes of Historic Voices will portray the author of the beloved "Little House" books and inspiration for the long-running "Little House on the Prairie" television series. The author continues to be a source of inspiration and a model of the American explorer spirit.

Her father, Charles "Pa" Ingalls, lived for 10 years as a teenager on a farm on Corron Road in Plato Township. He later moved to Wisconsin to marry Laura's mother, Caroline Quiner.
