The Homesteader is a welcome addition to the sources of current scholarship on Wilder and her books, filled with fresh persepctives, new data, and a lively look at the ever-expanding world of one of America’s best-loved writers.

- William Anderson, LIW biographer

Who is the Homesteader for?

It’s for those who have read the Little House® books endlessly; who have dreamed of seeing the prairie sky Laura lived beneath; who have wanted to learn about her as a wife, a mother, a farmer, a thinker, a writer, an historian. The Homesteader honors the places she wrote about, from Malone to Mansfield to De Smet. It also honors her fans, sharing contemporary, 21st-century information, research, and insights on her and her family—including her family of book characters.

Who does the Homesteader support?

Because support for Laura’s legacy is paramount to our mission, The Homesteader is available for purchase at homesites in De Smet, SD; Burr Oak, IA; Malone, NY; Walnut Grove, MN; and Independence, KS. Purchasing issues in person benefits the homesites, who profit on every issue sold.

If you can’t get to the homesites in person, the next best thing is to subscribe.  Subscribe today and you’ll receive two 8-page, full-color issues in your mailbox per year, laser-printed on high quality paper—a genuine publication packed with fresh and engaging stories about the life and times of Laura Ingalls Wilder.
