Laura Ingalls Wilder, along with her husband and daughter, moved to Mansfield in 1894. They purchased a farm and it was here that Laura wrote the "Little House" books.
Laura Ingalls Wilder-Rose Wilder Lane Home and Museum
In 1932, Laura Ingalls Wilder published the first of her "Little House" books, which described the pioneering of the Ingalls and Wilder families during the 1870's - 1890's. All of the nine manuscripts for these famous books were penned at Rocky Ridge Farm. Next to the historic Wilder home is the Laura Ingalls Wilder - Rose Wilder Lane Museum. The museum exhibits include artifacts spanning over a century of the lives of the pioneering history described in the "Little House" books.
