Go back in time to the mid 1800s, to a simple homestead outside of the town of Malone, New York. In Franklin County. This storybook location was made internationally famous by a woman who never set foot on the farmland - author of the Little House on the Prairie book series, Laura Ingalls Wilder. The Wilder Homestead is the boyhood home of her husband Almanzo Wilder.
