Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote all of the Little House books in Mansfield, Missouri. You can visit the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Home and Museum there. And if you're interested in a part of Laura's life she didn't write about, you can visit the The Masters Hotel in Burr Oak, Iowa.
If you're interested in learning more about Laura's adult life, I highly recommend Laura Ingalls Wilder: A Writer's Life by Pamela Smith Hilland the Pulitzer Prize winner Prairie Fires: The American Dreams of Laura Ingalls Wilder by Caroline Fraser (affiliate links).
