Almonzo Wilder Farm




Ken, the kids and I went to the Almonzo Wilder Farm with Ken's mom in Burke, NY. It's the homestead that he described to Laura as she wrote "Farmer Boy." It's a pretty neat place! Full of history! And beauty!

The tree is the only one on the property that is original from the days when Almonzo and his family lived there. The house is also the only original building. The out buildings have been reconstructed from drawings Almonzo gave Laura, due to them being burned when lightening struck.
