Laura Ingalls Wilder was born on February 7, 1867 in a small cabin seven miles north of Pepin, Wisconsin. She spent her early childhood living here with her Ma, Pa and sisters in the Big Woods. |

The town of Pepin, Wisconsin was originally built on First Street, which can be seen in the picture below. After the railroad was put in town it brought with it a problem. The railroad coming through scared the horses. The main part of town was then moved to 2nd Street. |
This is First Street, in the town of Pepin, next to the Mississippi River. It still looks much the same as it did in Laura's time. |
