Her family's log cabin in the Wisconsin wilderness became the setting for Little House in the Big Woods — the first book in the Little House on the Prairie series that would eventually sell over 60 million copies worldwide. The Little House Wayside, a 3-acre site on County Highway CC, preserves a replica of the original cabin and receives visitors year-round. Lake Pepin — the naturally widened stretch of the Mississippi River forming the county's western border — is one of the most scenic waterways in the upper Midwest, flanked by limestone bluffs rising 400 feet above the water.
