A relatively small, historic cemetery. The LIW graves are well signed but are easy to recognizing by the way they standout, even if you remain in your car and just drive through for a quick look. Very well maintained and easy to find - very near downtown Mansfield.
we stopped by the cemetery to pay our respects. well managed. The graves were easy to find. Staff at the Wilder home gave us directions. Easy to locate.
It was very well marked where to see the Wilder Plots and easy access.
We were flying blind when we came into Mansfield looking for the Laura Ingalls Wilder home and ended up driving by this little cemetery on the hill. After we finished our tour of the house and museum, we decided to go back to the cemetery and find their graves. Seemed like the right thing to do to show our respect for the lives these people lived. We looked up the grave on "findagrave.com" so we knew exactly what size, color, and shape the marker was. We parked under the tree and walked to the gravesite of Laura, her husband, and daughter.
Well taken care of and peaceful. It's easy to find the grave sites as well as the cemetery. A part of Laura lore.
It is hard to rate a cemetery but this definitely worth a visit if you are a Laura Ingalls Wilder fan. Laura, Almanzo and Rose Wilder's graves are well marked and maintained. I said a little "thank you" to Laura as I stood by her grave for giving me such reading pleasure with her Little House on the Prairie book series.
small cemetery in Mansfield, right near the centre of town. Well kept, lots of flowers on the graves. The graves of Laura and Almanzo Wilder and their daughter Rose are well marked and the headstones are in good condition and readable. Visiting the cemetery only takes a few minutes and completes your Little House tour. Significant to fans, not much to see for anyone else.
Interesting to see the graves of the Laura and her family. Definitely worth it while there. I wouldn't take young children there.
The cemetery is just a short distance into town from Laura Ingalls Wilder's Home and Museum. There is a map on the back of your tickets if you stop by the museum first. Once you arrive at the small town cemetery, there are nice, clearly marked signs to show you to Laura Wilder's grave. Her husband and daughter are also buried beside her. There is a row of shrubs that somewhat set those graves apart from the others. Worth the trip to see it if you've already made the journey to Mansfield, MO.
How does one "rate" a cemetery? It nice to see where Laura and Alamanzo rest; too bad they aren't with the rest of her family in DeSmet, SD. It's easy to get to and should be part of anyone's Laura visit.
