Missouri's Laura Ingalls Wilder Home
Mansfield, Missouri
In 1894, Laura, her husband, Almanzo, and daughter, Rose, settled in this community in the wooded Ozark hills (40 miles east of Springfield). This website is devoted to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home, where Laura lived when she wrote her famous books.
After the author died in 1957, friends and neighbors formed an association to preserve the home. It's now a museum celebrating Laura and the pioneer history contained in her books. You'll find pictures of the house, the Ingalls and Wilder families and family artifacts. One section of the museum documents the life and career of Laura's daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, herself a journalist, author and world traveler.
The Laura Ingalls Wilder Library contains a collection of character dolls representing people in Laura's books. You also can tour the Rock House, an elegant Tudor-style home Rose had built for her parents in the 1920s.
