Fountain City, Wisconsin: The Rock in the House

A 55-ton boulder rolled down a cliff and smashed into a house, and an unnatural tourist attraction was born.

We visited the house and we were able to go inside. Looks like at night some squatters come there. So sad to see people trash this. There is a sign that says you use to be able to visit until someone stole the cash box and damaged the home. Lots of really neat pictures inside the home.

While the house is still there, visitors are no longer allowed inside. The owners have put a sign on the door saying visits have ended because someone stole the pay box and trashed the place. A sad ending to Rock in the House tours. However you are still able to view the rock from the backyard.

Rock in the House is still going strong. On a recent weekend trip I pulled into the small lot as the rest of the family rolled their collective eyes. As it turned out, the kids all thought it was pretty cool, and a highlight of the trip.

They have a locked box as you go in, and request a $2/person admission fee.

Rock in the House is a small house under a hill where a giant rock smashed in the house. No one was hurt, but the lady who owned the house sold it to some entrepeneurs who now have made it a semi-major tourist attraction. For dollar you can get a personal tour of the house. There are also such oddities as a squished chainsaw and cans solidly stuck to a squished lawn chair. The place is right on the main street and close to the Mississippi River. A MUST SEE!!!
