| Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum: 'Eighty years ago this month Laura Ingalls Wilder made a quick trip to Springfield, Missouri to have this photograph taken, part of a triptych. The reason? She was invited to Detroit to appear at a prestigious Book Fair, where her book ON THE BANKS OF PLUM CREEK debuted. Harper & Brothers urged her to have a fresh photo made for publicity, and this was the pose she chose. It became her standard publicity photo for the next two decades. The photo, sometimes personally signed, became part of many American classrooms, since so many children requested her picture. Right along with images of George and Abe--all three of them February babies. It is amazing to reflect on the permanent and pervasive quality of Laura Ingalls Wilder's life and art during this, her 150th birthday year. And the celebration is not yet over. Stay tuned for another major event!' CANCER FREE!!! April 9, 1998-April 9, 2025-I AM A SURVIVOR!!! | |

| Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum Here is a unique gift to give or get....exclusively published by the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home Association. Laura's original cookbook, lost for years, was rediscovered. It seemed a perfect new product for her readers to enjoy. The book is really tryptic: a full color tour of the Wilder home, with gorgeous photography by Leslie A. Kelly; a historical commentary by author William Anderson; and best of all, recipes for foods Laura served at her table. There are: main dishes, side dishes, breads, desserts, drinks and snacks. Laura's favorite housekeeping tips are also included. This is one of the best sellers in the museum shop. It is a bargain at $17.95, plus shipping. Check out our internet store on the LIW Home and Museum website. Laura Ingalls Wilder Home Website CANCER FREE!!! April 9, 1998-April 9, 2025-I AM A SURVIVOR!!! | |

| Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum:December fifth is the birthday of Rose Wilder Lane, the sole surviving child of Almanzo and Laura Wilder. She was born in 1886, on the Wilder homestead near De Smet, Dakota Territory. From a bookish child, Rose evolved into an early twentieth-century career woman and writer. From the 1910s until the 1960s, she was a familiar name as an American author, a world traveler and political observer. Rocky Ridge Farm was always an anchor during her life; she returned to make long stays with her parents through the years. Her influence on the farm is very evident yet today--the building of the Rock House, her renovations on the farmhouse, and development of the grounds. Rose was an influential force in the development of her family home as a museum, and was interested in the site until her death in 1968. Her writings have lasting appeal. Here in the bookstore, copies of her Let the Hurricane Roar (Young Pioneers), Free Land, and Old Home Town are still popular with visitors eager to read more of the Wilder family writings.

| Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum shared Pamela Smith Hill's post:'Museum director Jean Coday and authors Pamela Smith Hill, John Miller & William Anderson were among the interviewees. Here is a head's up on how to listen.' 'Pamela Smith Hill In September during Wilder Days at Rocky Ridge Farm, a BBC crew interviewed several of us who were speaking or signing books at the event for a radio program entitled "Laura Ingalls' America." The program will air in the UK on Sunday evening, December 10, at 18:45. For those of us in the States, we can access the program online after it airs live in the UK.' Read Here CANCER FREE!!!

| Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum: On this day, December 12, in the year 1839, Caroline Quiner Ingalls was born. She is also now known as simply Ma Ingalls-- certainly one of the best-loved mothers in American literature. She was lovingly portrayed in the Little House books, and her role as a nurturing and resourceful mother endured until her death in 1924. A teacher, churchwoman, loved neighbor, and respected lady in her longtime hometown of De Smet, it is good to remember her qualities of parenthood in our own times. The illustration by Helen Sewell appeared in the first edition of Little House in the Big Woods, as a frontispiece. Here we see Ma as the ever-protective mother, as she and Laura encounter a bear in the barnyard when they expected to find the family cow. As was her c tom, she acted calmly, and propelled Laura back to the safety of the warm, cozy, safe cabin in the woods. CANCER FREE!!! April 9, 1998-April 9, 2025-I AM A SURVIVOR!!! | |

| Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum:THIS WEEK IN HISTORY - The Mansfield Mirror, our local paper, reports, "60 years ago, in 1958, national publicity was anticipated for the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historical Association from the Harper Publishing Company. H.L. Shorter, Fund-raising Chairman, was given authority to select a resident caretaker at the Wilder Home, 'in order that out-of-town visitors would have a hostess'." As we prepare for the opening of our 61st season, we hope you're making preparations to come and visit us! We'd love to be your hostess in 2018! CANCER FREE!!!

| Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum"This is Laura Ingalls Wilder Birthday Week! And the conclusion of her highly celebrated 150th birthday anniversary. But the party goes on...schools, libraries, and museums will be marking 151 years since her birth on February 7, 1867. Almanzo Wilder was born February 13, 1857. It was the custom in the Wilder family to celebrate both birthdays on the same day. In their later years, they were invited to the home of Silas and Neta Seal in Mansfield for a birthday dinner. The menu was always Swiss steak, Almanzo's favorite.The photo below shows Laura and Almanzo, most probably during the winter of 1886, when they were nineteen and twenty-nine. It was common during those days for husbands to be considerably older than their wives." CANCER FREE!!! April 9, 1998-April 9, 2025-I AM A SURVIVOR!!! | |

| Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum:
The Cherry Blossom Festival is an event that happens every year in my town. In the past, they have had Alison Arngrim (Nellie), Dean Butler (Almanzo), Betty Lynn (Thelma Lou from the Andy Griffith Show) and First Lady Laura Bush. It is always crowded and crazy during that time, so not sure I would try to venture downtown... Charlotte Stewart, Mrs. Beadle on the "Little House on the Prairie" TV show, will be one of the guests at the Cherry Blossom Festival Luncheon. Space is limited and reservations are required. We are happy to hear that seats are selling quickly, but we don't want you to miss out! Friday, April 27 at 11:30 AM - 1:30 PM Tickets CANCER FREE!!!

| Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum:"This "silk crazy quilt" as Laura Ingalls Wilder described it, was her work, made circa 1900. She writes of using it as a decorative bed coverlet. This type of quilt-making was a late-Victorian fad, created from scraps of velvet, silk and other fabrics. Rose Wilder Lane describes these quilts in her book on American needlecraft. The Wilder crazy quilt has been on exhibit for all of the 60+ years of the museum's existence. Now it is in very precarious condition, which some of the fabric literally rotting away. This key museum artifact is scheduled for preservation by Museum Textile Services in Andover, MA, when funds are raised. Won't you consider an earmarked donation for this project? Proceeds from the luncheon hosted by the Wilder Home and Museum during Marshfield, Missouri's Cherry Blossom Festival on April 27 will be used for the quilt project." CANCER FREE!!!
