The Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society is happy to welcome your interest in the "Little House" books. Since 1957, the organization has been busy with the preservation and restoration of the Ingalls-Wilder sites and the hosting of Lauras readers. The Society welcomes you to visit the two original homes of the Ingalls family. Tours are given of the restored Surveyors' House and the final home of Ma and Pa, the Ingalls Home. Guides are available at each home. The Gift Shop and Headquarters - a beautifully restored home located next to the Surveyors' house - is filled with many books and booklets that answer the "What happened next?" questions.
