Willa Cather's Childhood Home Poster

We are glad to offer a series of seven new museum-quality posters of our historic sites and landscapes.

Built in 1879, this house was home to Willa Cather and her family for twenty years. Cather described the house in her novel The Song of the Lark and in the short stories “Old Mrs. Harris” and “The Best Years.” The home was purchased by the Willa Cather Foundation in 1960 and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1972. In 2023, the house is undergoing its first major restoration in more than fifty years.
