Spring Green, Wisconsin: House on the Rock

Currently the house is dark and gloomy. But if, like me, you were one of the original visitors to house, it was bright, cheery, and amazing. All the currently covered windows were once uncovered, like those in the Infinity Room. Then Jordan began collecting stain glass lamps and such. You can't really see the beauty of those in sunlight, so Jordan boarded up most of the windows.

This is the closest glimpse into the mind of a megalomaniac that you'll ever have. At first you'll wonder why admission is so expensive, but by the end you'll wonder why it's so cheap.

Not at all what I expected. Dark and somewhat disturbing. The original owner must have been an odd fellow. Allow a few hours for this stop.

They sell beer halfway through! Other important notes: the whole thing is almost a three mile walk; you can spend unused tokens at the gift shop at the end; the bathrooms are also tarted up. Terrible. Awesome. Obsession and decay. Five stars.

Only had time for section 1, which gives the historical background of The House On the Rock. Interesting piece of Americana, but wasn't worth the $50 we spent on our family of 5. Sections 2 and 3 must have had more interesting things to see, it should be one price for all 3 sections. Infinity room was fascinating and a bit scary because it moved, which is a part of its design.
