Have you been here? If not, please go! What am I pushing on you? The House on the Rock; a place where Alex Jordan created an architectural wonder and awe! Mr. Jordan built this house on a sandstone formation! Although he never intended it to be a tourist attraction, it now attracts thousands of visitors from east to west (yesterday I met people from many different parts of the country). Today, the house has 14 rooms and is now a complex of many buildings, exhibit/displays and flower/garden showcases! You can choose from three unguided tours or choose two or all three. Of course, I picked all three! I spent about 3 hours there and must say, it was an unbelievable 180 minutes! Although Mrs. Jordan is no longer with us, he definitely left a part of him with us in his creation! (I do not have a picture of the GRAND CAROUSEL-sorry I only have it on video). I will definitely share Mr. Jordan's work (via pictures, video, experiences, stories) with my students!
Click Here to read more! I hope you will find information to share with your students! Doesn't a field trip to Spring Green, Wisconsin with your students sound alluring and attractive?
If you go, or have gone, please leave me a comment; I'd love to read about your experiences!
ENJOY and SMILES!
