Last week I had the chance to visit the House on the Rock, just south of Spring Green, WI. The location is spectatular, even though the house itself is not very practical. What is really impressive about the place is the "stuff" that Alex Jordon collected over the years to put on display in the house and other exhibit areas.
There are three sections to the tour: 1) main house, gate house, gardens, Infinity Room, etc.; 2) Mill House, Streets of Yesterday, Heritage of the Sea and the world's largest carousel. The carousel is 35 feet tall, 80 in diameter and has over 20,000 lights. Of the 269 carousel creatures, none are horses; 3) organ room, doll house room, circus room, doll carousels.
If you are ever in the Madison area, I would suggest a short drive to the House on the Rock, located between Dodgeville and Spring Green. Allow yourself most of the day and take a break for lunch in one of the restaurants. There is alot of walking with ramps and steps.
Warmest regards, Gus
