Are your passports in order, as they would need to be in order to travel into and out of Canada?
If you aren't tired of Laura Ingalls Wilder stuff after your visit to DeSmet, then you could check out Walnut Grove, MN, which is east of DeSmet on US-14. More LIW there, with a lot about the TV show (the way I understand it). Then in Pepin, WI, is the Little House in the Big Woods. Pepin is along the Mississippi River just southwest of Eau Claire.
