context_page_description: The Hamlin Garland House is a historic house at 357 West Garland Street in West Salem, Wisconsin, USA. It was from 1893 to the 1910s the principal residence of writer Hamlin Garland. Garland was a prominent and well-regarded writer of regional fiction. Designated a National Historic Landmark, it is now a museum managed by the local historical society.
context_section_description: The home was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1971. The street it is on was renamed in honor of the author. Today, the property is managed by the West Salem Historical Society and is open to the public as a museum. In 1960, a historical marker was placed in town in honor of Garland noting his interest in the region.
  There are some reports that the home is haunted, possibly by Garland himself due to his unhappiness that his wishes for burial were not followed.
