Remembering Pa’s Fiddle and Laura’s

Little House on the PrairieRocky Ridge Farm – Where Laura lived when she wrote the Little House Books

A New Home for Pa’s FiddleLaura loved the music from her father’s fiddle in real life. She wrote of it in the true stories about her childhood such as Little House on the Prairie.

Pa’s Fiddle is played for visitors

every autumn,

Laura began to write it all down one day.

Laura lived and wrote in this Farm House

And she answered the letters from kids who read and loved Little House on the Prairie and her other stories.

All of the letters! She sat near this table to read the letters and wrote her answers. Her light was from the lamp Almanzomade.

Laura Had MAIL!

The table and mail upon it are displayed in the Farm House just

The vision — a

museum and library will preserve the writings of Laura Ingalls Wilder and Rose Wilder Lane along with furniture, handwork and photos —the family memories.

The new center will be large enough to house the collection of writings and family things that Laura and Rose kept for future generations.

The project for the new museum and library is ‘shovel-ready’. We have most of the money, but need all of it ‘in hand’ to pay for the construction.
