Welcome to LIWLRA.org, the home of the Laura Ingalls Wilder Legacy and Research Association
What is the LIWLRA?
The Laura Ingalls Wilder Legacy & Research Association is dedicated to furthering the legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder and her Little House books through continued research, supporting the homesites and museums, and offering a platform for researchers to share their work.
The LIWLRA hosts and organizes a recurring conference known as LauraPalooza, designed to incorporate academic research with good old-fashioned fun to appeal to fans and scholars alike. We have made significant donations to Wilder homesites and museums, as well as toward specific projects and research in our efforts to further Laura’s legacy. We have worked hard to achieve the support of the homesites and of prominent Wilder researchers such as William Anderson, John E. Miller, and Pamela Smith Hill.
