Walnut Grove
Walnut Grove is a small city in western Redwood County famous worldwide as a Laura Ingalls Wilder "Little House on the Prairie" town, home to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum that draws visitors from across the globe, set in farm-and-prairie country. Its base of heritage tourism, agriculture, retail, and service businesses serves both locals and a steady stream of Little House pilgrims. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms — custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing — for the Walnut Grove area's tourism, agriculture, retail, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania — distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
