Also known as Rocky Ridge Farm, it was the home of author Laura Ingalls Wilder from 1896 until her death in 1957.

The house, together with the nearby Rock Cottage on the same property, represents one of the few surviving places where she resided.

Shortly after her death local residents initiated legal steps to acquire the house through the incorporation of a non-profit organization to preserve her legacy.

[2] Owned by the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home Association,[3] the house is open to the public for tours.

[1] The Rock Cottage, located nearby on the same property, was built by their daughter Rose Wilder Lane as a gift to her parents, who lived there from 1928 to 1936.
