AboutJeni Expertise I can, in 99% of the cases, answer anything about Little House On the Prairie or it`s cast members past or present, as well as the Little House books and the Ingalls real life genealogy.

Experience I've watched Little House since I was five years old. I own every season, that's currently released, on DVD and can and will rewatch the episode if need be to answer your questions. I can more than likely pick out a episode based on a brief description of what happened, so you don't even have to know the name of it, just the general idea of what happened.

The church on the show resembles a lot of churches in my area that were built during the Civil War era that are United Methodist churches. Would you happen to know what religious affiliation the people of Walnut Grove was?
Thanks
Answer Hi Lynn!
Though I could not find the answer in the books, I'm 95% certain that the Church of Walnut Grove was not methodist. The services described in the books do not fit the protocol for the methodist religion. I don't recall ever reading about the actual specific denomination of the church however.
