The House on the Rock Special Winter Tour

The Japanese Garden

In the fifty years that The House on the Rock has been open to the public, tours have always been self-guided. This winter season we are offering our guests something special, something that we have never offered before---a nostalgic walk through The House on the Rock as it was in the middle 1970s including stories about Alex Jordan and the building of The House on the Rock. In his mind it always remained his country place—even after it grew far beyond just the House. He collected whatever struck his fancy and brought it here for all of us to enjoy. On our walk through tour you will see the Gate House, The walkway to the House, The House itself, The Mill House, The Streets of Yesterday, and then you'll wind through the first part of the Music of Yesterday. After that, you can visit The Alex Jordan Center at your leisure and learn more about Alex Jordan and the creation of The House on the Rock.

The only tour offered during the Winter Season is the guided walk through. Many buildings and exhibits are closed during this time of year including the Heritage of the Sea, the Carousel, the Organ Room and all others not listed above. If you want to see the full tour, please come after March 25, 2011 for our Regular Season.
