The Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial is a historic site located in De Smet, South Dakota. The memorial is a tribute to the life and legacy of Laura Ingalls Wilder, a renowned author, and pioneer. The memorial is composed of several buildings that were important in Laura's life.

The main attraction of the memorial is the Ingalls family homestead, which was built by Charles and Caroline Ingalls in 1880. The homestead is a well-preserved example of the prairie homes that were common during the pioneer era. Visitors can tour the homestead and see the original furnishings, clothing, and artifacts that belonged to the Ingalls family.

Another important building on the site is the Surveyor's House, which was the first home the Ingalls family lived in when they moved to De Smet. The house was built by Pa Ingalls and is now a museum that showcases the pioneer lifestyle.

In addition to the homestead and Surveyor's House, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial also includes a museum that features exhibits on Laura's life and works. The museum has a collection of artifacts, photographs, and personal items that belonged to Laura and her family.

Overall, the Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial is a must-visit destination for history buffs, literary enthusiasts, and fans of the Little House on the Prairie series. The memorial provides a fascinating insight into the life of a pioneer family and the struggles they faced in the American Midwest.
