Home to the author of the "Little House" books, this landmark site doubles as a unique museum with original manuscripts, furniture, and other artifacts covering the life of this famous writer, Laura Ingalls Wilder. Hers is a tale of persistence, hard work, and a pioneering attitude, reportedly inherited from her parents. Called Rocky Ridge Farm, this farm home was built from the ground up by Laura and her husband, Almanzo. Fans of the series come from all over to see the house and its one-of-a-kind artifacts. The farm home remains in unusual condition for a museum, un-restored and virtually unaltered through time. Visitors can literally walk through the life of this popular author, investigating each item and the story that it tells.

Location
Rocky Ridge Farm is only 45 miles east of Springfield, Missouri on highway 60. From Springfield take Highway 60 east to Mansfield and take the second Mansfield exit. Turn right off of the exit ramp and continue on that street into town. It dead-ends at the city square. Turn left at the square and continue for less than a mile to the historic home. The farm house and museum are on the right, parking is on the left.
