Cather's childhood home There are many treasures awaiting visitors who come to tour the sites connected to Willa Cather. Many family artifacts are on display in the home. For example, in the parlor atop the marble table is the family Bible - Willa changed her birth date from 1873 to 1876. The wrong date is also on her tombstone. In Willa's room the wallpaper that she carefully hung still can be seen. When visiting one can imagine the home full of people doing their daily chores.
