Season 1, Episode 24 – Founder’s Day
The title of this episode is a reference to the 100-mile walk in the book On the Banks of Plum Creek (the fourth book in the Little House series). However, in the books it was locusts that ruined a crop and it led to the Ingalls moving on, unlike in the television series in which the Ingalls and the Wilder families stay in Walnut Grove through most of the series. Ketty Lester, 89, signed some of her CDs for fans and sang at a worship service at the reunion. Linwood Boomer, 68, created a very popular show based on his life, "Malcolm in the Middle." He is the founder and board chair of Healing California, a nonprofit that provides free medical, dental and vision care. He donated all money fans paid for autographs and photos to the charity. "I had a whole spiritual journey for maybe 20 years, I’ve worked in finance on Wall Street, lived in Manhattan for a long time," Gilbert, 56, says.

Fun FactNellie Oleson originally had her hair carefully styled each day, however during Season 1 they had a wig custom ordered for her. This allowed her elaborate hair style to maintain it’s styling through long hours of shooting. It was, at the time, one of the most expensive wigs created for a TV show as it was constructed lock by lock to match her natural hair colors as much as possible. Melissa Sue Anderson had never lit a match in real life before acting in this episode as Mary Ingalls. This was the first large role for Mr. Kennedy, the hot-headed father of Christy and Sandy who got so angry. The scene with Mary and Pa in the barn when Mary confesses that Jasper bit Laura too was supposed to have cross cut images of Pa.
