Did you know the man who inspired one of America’s most beloved literary families was born right here in Cuba, NY? Charles “Pa” Ingalls — the real-life father immortalized in Laura Ingalls Wilder’s Little House books — got his start in our hometown before heading west to become a frontier legend.
Now Netflix is bringing his story to life in a brand-new adaptation, and we’re celebrating with a free screening of all episodes! Join your neighbors for popcorn, prairie spirit, and a story that started right here.
About the series: Part hopeful family drama, part epic survival tale, and part origin story of the American West, this fresh adaptation of Laura Ingalls Wilder’s iconic semi-autobiographical Little House books offers a kaleidoscopic view of the struggles and triumphs of those who shaped the frontier.
Since its original publication in the 1930s, the Little House books have sold over 73 million copies in more than 100 countries and been translated into at least 27 languages — and it all traces back to a family with roots in Cuba, NY.
Behind the Show:
🎬 Showrunner/Executive Producer: Rebecca Sonnenshine (The Boys, Vampire Diaries, Archive 81)
🎬 Executive Producers: Joy Gorman Wettels (Joy Coalition), Trip Friendly (Friendly Family Productions), Dana Fox
🎬 Directors: Sarah Adina Smith, Julie Anne Robinson, Kat Candler, Erica Tremblay, Sydney Freeland
🎬 Produced by CBS Studios and Anonymous Content
Bring the whole family and discover why Pa Ingalls’ story — and Cuba, NY’s small but mighty role in American literary history — still resonates almost a century later.
