After reading FARMER BOY by Laura Ingalls Wilder about Laura's husband's childhood near
Malone, NY we were interested in checking out Almanzo Wilder's homestead.  Jeffery was quick to
point out sites from the book in Malone and at the homestead.  The house is the restored origional and
the barns are new replicas.  We even enjoyed a walk to the Trout River on the other side of Stacy
Road.
