Since you're the only recent poster here, I'll reply to you.
That Brooklyn was a "burro" of New York City. LHOP was set in the 1870s and it didn't happen for about twenty more years.

Thanks. It seems that there is not much in the way of television/movie discussions at this site, with the General Discussion subforum being the most active.
I didn’t read the entire thread, but was referring to the closing scene when Laura was running with her arms straight out, like a plane/bird.

I believe most of the anachronisms were intentional. Landon was likely more concerned with humor than historical accuracy.

Almost ALL of the males characters, especially the boys had 70'sish hairstyles. Maybe because Michael Landon liked his hair "modern". So, why not everybody?
Also, the number of "one hit wonders" they managed to use is such an epic series and still maintain reality throughout.

just thinking the idea of the /airplane/ was around in the 1400's thanks to Leonardo davinci.
the workable design might have came from the wright brothers.
and, really paper airplanes are ORIGAMI which is an ancient Japanese art form.

The sammich was invented in England like 100 year before, buna
Peanut butter didn't become commercially popular until 1894. I suppose those prairie geniuses could have made their own, however.

The fact that there was no railroad in Walnut Grove, when the railroad was the reason Walnut Grove exists. The idea that Walnut Grove had existed for forty years before the Ingalls came, when it was nowhere near that old, and the idea that old people had lived there for years. I sometimes suspect the show was inspired by Tom Sawyer and Hannibal as much as Laura Ingalls Wilder.
That there's a sawmill in town, although the TV town at least has trees; the real Walnut Grove didn't (except for the grove).
The idea that railroad men on the show could be "old-timers" when the railroads weren't old.
That Walnut Grove got telephone lines in about 1879 when the invention didn't spread to areas like the real Mankato until the early 1900's.
