Burke, NY, May 3, 2026– The Almanzo Wilder Homestead will be hosting a reunion of cast members from the hit TV show Little House on the Prairie the weekend of July 24, 25 and 26, 2026. The guests of honor will be Dean Butler (Almanzo), Alison Arngrim (Nellie Oleson), Lucy Lee Flippin (Eliza Jane), Charles Bloom (Perley Day), and Jennifer Donati (Baby Rose). 

Events kick off Friday evening at the Chateaugay Town Theater, with a one-woman comedy show by Alison Arngrim, based on her memoir about growing up in the spotlight and living a life being “Nellie” (this show has adult content). Saturday and Sunday bring two full days of music, crafts and food at the Wilder Homestead, with opportunities to meet the cast and get selfies and autographs. The weekend culminates in a world-class fiddle concert in conjunction with the House of History in Malone at the historic First Congregational Church.

As a fund-raiser for the Wilder Homestead, the cast will be part of a VIP-only dinner on Saturday evening at the Malone Golf Club. VIP ticket holders will also receive VIP seating at Ms. Arngrim’s Friday show, two days of admission to the Wilder Homestead, priority parking, and a catered barbeque picnic lunch both Saturday and Sunday.

Tickets can be purchased through the Homestead’s website at AlmanzoWilderFarm.com.

“We expect this to be an incredible event,” says Volunteer Coordinator Robin Abbott. “We have already sold 10 percent of our VIP tickets and well over 100 admissions to the Farm for that weekend. We have people coming from as far away as California for this. We’re so excited to show off the Farm, the towns of Malone and Burke, and the beautiful North Country.”
