ABC M is for Mansfield, Missouri

M IS FOR MANSFIELD, MISSOURI



About 17 miles from my birthplace is the little town of Mansfield, Missouri.  One of my favorite
authors Laura Ingalls Wilder along with her husband and daughter Rose lived there and this is where the Little House on the Prairie Books were written.

www.lauraingallswilderhome.com  is a wonderful place to visit and see the Rocky Ridge Farm home and other buildings belonging the family.  All of the Little House books are based on the places where she lived and grew up.

Below is the laptop writing desk that Laura's husband Almonzo built for her to use writing her books.



 
Here is a picture of the grounds and Museum on the farm.


A few pictures of Laura
