The complex is estimated to span several acres of interconnected buildings and walkways.
The House on the Rock is an architectural complex perched on Deer Shelter Rock, designed by Alex Jordan Jr. in the 1940s. The site features a series of interconnected rooms, including the Infinity Room, which extends 218 feet over the valley floor without external support. The complex houses extensive collections of 20th-century memorabilia, orchestrions, and vintage carousel animals. Notable exhibits include the Heritage of the Sea room, featuring a massive sea creature sculpture. The property is divided into three distinct tour sections that showcase eccentric artifacts and mechanical curiosities. Visitors navigate through narrow corridors, low-light spaces, and vast, cavernous halls. The attraction is currently open as of June 2026, operating as a commercial museum and tourist destination. It serves as a significant example of mid-century architectural eccentricity in rural Wisconsin.
