Welcome to Laura Ingalls Wilder, Frontier Girl. When readers discover that the "Little House"® books were composed from the childhood memories of the author herself, and are therefore primarily true stories, they inevitably find themselves wondering, "What happened next?" This site was created to answer that question, and many more. The legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her "Little House"® books continues to grow more than fifty years after her death. Thousands of visitors flock to her "little houses" all over the midwest every year, fans engage in online conversations about the books and their author, and researchers continue to publish new material on a steady basis. Our purpose is to encourage the casual reader to become more involved. We want you to assist us in supporting the legacy of this amazing woman: to purchase the books, to visit and support the homesites, and to further research and education on Wilder-related topics. We invite you to explore the world of Laura Ingalls Wilder as you navigate our site using the tabs on the left. You will find information on the Laura Ingalls Wilder homesites, the characters in the Little House books, the music that Pa's fiddle sang to his girls one hundred years ago, and much more. The information contained in this website is far from comprehensive; it is intended to provide basic information. If you find that your interest is piqued and you want to know still more, we recommend reading the biographies or related interest books found in the Frontier Girl Mercantile. All profits are donated to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Homesites for continued preservation of Wilder history.
