}}The Wilder Homestead is located on Ashfield Road (Massachusetts Route 112), {{convert|0.25|mi|km}} south of the Upper Road/Ashfield Road junction, in Buckland, Massachusetts. The property includes three buildings, two of which contribute to its significance. The house was built c. 1775, and is a fairly typical Georgian colonial two story house, in which the rear roof extends down to the first floor in saltbox fashion. A 19th century ell extends from the east side of the house. The house was built for Gardner Wilder, who had recently moved to the area, and had purchased {{convert|200|acre|ha}} to farm.[2]

The second contributing structure is a barn, whose construction was also begun by Gardner Wilder c. 1775. It was significantly enlarged with a full-height full-width extension in 1840, and a second extension, a 1.5 story equipment shed, was added in the 20th century. The oldest portion shows typical English colonial post and beam construction techniques, and its beams were axe-hewn, unlike those of the first addition, which show saw marks. The equipment shed was built using modern balloon framing methods.[2]

The property remained in the hands of Gardner Wilder's descendants until 1981, when the homestead and a {{convert|58|acre|ha|adj=on}} parcel of land were donated to the Buckland Historical Society. The Society moved a 19th-century shoe shop to the property in 1991, and operates the site as a historic house museum.[2] The property was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.[1]
