We donated $1,000 in 2013, and again in 2016, to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum in Mansfield, Missouri, and we also donated $1,000 to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society in De Smet, South Dakota in 2016. The Laura Ingalls Wilder Legacy and Research Association is the only group in the world that uniformly supports all of Laura’s homesites. Membership runs January 1st – December 31st each year and anyone can join at any time. Our executive board members hail from all over the country, and members of the association come from all over the world. LIWLRA is an official 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. In 2022, we were excited to bring the conference to Burlington, VT.Īt the conference, we present Laura’s Legacy Award to notable figures in the Laura Ingalls Wilder community who have contributed significantly to preserving Laura’s legacy.

Locations have included Mankato, Minnesota, Brookings, South Dakota, Springfield, Missouri and Onalaska, Wisconsin. Every two or three years, we sponsor the LauraPalooza conference, the only national (worldwide, even) academic conference dedicated to Laura Ingalls Wilder and the Little House books. The LIWLRA has a blog, which includes contributions by board members and other guest posters and a Facebook page and Twitter handle. Welcome to, the online home of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Legacy and Research Association, which has been in existence since 2009.
