Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum

The Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum serves the greater Walnut Grove area as a research and genealogy resource for local history and the repository for area historical artifacts. While Laura Ingalls Wilder was probably our most well-known resident, our museum mission covers the collection, preservation, and display of all of our local history. The museum grounds encompass nine buildings including a 1870s railroad depot, an onion-domed home from 1904, the Masters Hotel built in 1876, and several buildings devoted to the display and understanding of local history.
