A series of additions were completed by 1912 and give the house its current irregular shape. The modest Wright County homestead is nationally significant as the residence of one of America's most famous authors of children's literature.

The Laura Ingalls Wilder House near Mansfield
is a National Historic Landmark. The sprawling white frame farmhouse near Mansfield, home to Laura Ingalls Wilder for 63 years, was the recipient of the nation's highest honor for historic properties.
Presently bungaloid in style, the residence began as a two-room house constructed by Laura and Almanzo Wilder in 1895 using lumber and fieldstone from the surrounding farm.
