Employees at the Laura Ingalls Wilder Museum in the Southwest Missouri town of Mansfield have been anxiously waiting for today because First Lady Laura Bush will arrive and take a private tour of the home and museum.

Mrs. Bush is a big fan of the Little House series, and has been trying to fit the trip into her schedule, said Office assistant Rebecca Dereckson.

Dereckson is not giving the tour and said she doesn’t know if she’ll get to meet the First Lady, but would be happy just to get a glimpse of her.
