The House on the Rock

Ray and I took a little daytrip down to Spring Green to see The House on the Rock today. I'd been to this attraction before, about nine years ago, but Ray never had. We had a great time :)

The picture above is of the Infinity Room. This room sticks out of the actual house into thin air above some trees. As you can hopefully tell in the picture, the room just gets smaller and smaller as it goes. You can feel it move as you walk when you get out aways, so it's pretty freaky!

In case you've never been to The House on the Rock, the first part of the tour is of a house that was literally built on top of a rock cliff and lived in by it's architect, Alex Jordan. Alex Jordan was influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright, and you can definitely tell! The remainder of the tour is of rooms upon rooms of weird and interesting collections. Many of them were Alex Jordan's own collections.

The only thing we were bummed about is that we didn't bring any cash with us. They take credit cards for the admission tickets, but you need cash to buy tokens. You need tokens to get all of the automated orchestras to play for you. We could easily have gone through about $20 worth of tokens. I think we'll actually go back again later this summer just to listen to all of the orchestras!

The House on the Rock is a fascinating place. I totally recommend it. Just make sure you plan to spend a good three hours there!
