About this campaign

Why preserving heritage instead of history, you might ask. Preserving heritage refers to the preservation of both tangible and intangible objects. At the museum it is as important to us to preserve the legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder and the pioneer way of life as it is to preserve the physical objects that belonged to the Wilders. To fulfill this the Preservation Department at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Home and Museum supports the museums programing goals including the summer camps, pop up makers sessions, and scheduled group activities. Additionally, it funds the preservation of Mrs. Wilder's belongings such as the furniture in the house.

With many of Mrs. Wilder's belongings being 100 years old or better there was a need to start having preservation and restoration work done. The museum's first preservation project was Mrs. Wilder's crazy quilt back in 2017. Since then two chairs, a couch, and the sleeping couch in the house have been restored, but there are many other objects that need the same care.

Additionally, to support the museums mission in continuing her legacy there was a huge boost in public programming, especially for kids. This lead to the creation of the preservation department.

I’ve always had passion and intrigue for Laura. Growing up in Mansfield, I feel like she’s always been a part of my life. I love supporting a wholesome cause for others to enjoy.

Laura's the reason I got into history in the first place. I was obsessed with her as a kid (visited the Mansfield house in 4th grade) and now I work in living history myself! This fundraiser is a great idea!
