The Little House Wayside is a three acre wayside located in Pepin County, Wisconsin, seven miles northwest of Pepin, Wisconsin, in the town of Pepin, and approximately one mile southeast of Lund, on County Highway CC (formerly Wisconsin Highway 183), on the plot where Laura Ingalls Wilder was born on February 7, 1867.[1]

The site features a replica of the house that was featured in Little House in the Big Woods. The site is now an open prairie, though it was a dense hardwood forest when Laura was born. The site is maintained by the Laura Ingalls Wilder Memorial Society. The house is open from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. local time. The house is closed for the winter after the snow gets deep. The unfurnished cabin contains a fireplace, two bedrooms, loft, and information about Wilder and her family.[2]
