Historic Building Preservation
The Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society is dedicated to preserving three historic buildings: the Surveyor's House, the First School, and the Ingalls Home. Since these buildings are over a century old, maintaining and preserving them is an ongoing effort. This is our greatest expense but also our greatest treasure. They require specialized care from contractors who are experts in historic preservation.
We have several major projects coming up, thanks to a CAP grant that will help us determine what needs to be repaired and how to go about it.
Won't you help us fund these projects to protect a piece of American history and Laura's legacy?
