Wilder Homestead, also known as the Boyhood Home of Almanzo Wilder, is a historic home and farmstead located near Malone in Franklin County, New York. The farmhouse was built in 1843, and is a two-story, Greek Revival style frame dwelling. The front facade features a small porch supported by square columns. It has a 1 1/2-story rear block with a small colonnaded portico. The property includes eight reconstructed outbuildings including a visitor's center (1989), corn crib (1989), three barns (1995, 1997, 1999), picnic pavilion (1998), rest rooms (1999), and pump house (2002). The Wilder family occupied the property until about 1875.
