The House on the Rock - One Man's Dream (Part 1)

Above the lone valley, amid the deep woodland
Stands Deershelter rock, proud and high.
Where a man built a dream home, his own lofty castle
Commanding the hills and the sky ...

In the late '60s and early '70s, I used to go to House on the Rock at least once a year. It's been 40 years or so since I've been there. I live too far away now. I enjoyed this video so much -- some of these features didn't even exist the last time I was there. The huge carousel was still in the works, and the multi-tiered carousel wasn't even in the planning stages! Thank you for a wonderful walk down Memory Lane!

Love it, but at 2:40, The narrator says "Soaring high over the Wyoming Valley" Yet This is in WISCONSIN!

i went there in 2018. i loved the place and i need to go back. it is such a unique piece of american history.

Visited there last week. The last time I had visited was 15 years earlier. It is sad that many of the attractions are in disrepair or don't function at all. I can see why, things are so complex that noone would have the slightest clue on how to repair them. That should be made a priority, though. I love the new visitor center!

So one screwed up ...1:08 the narrator describes it as above the Wyoming valley.

[@BuyAvonFromDonna]

It's the Ione Valley, and only sounds like he's saying Wyoming.

[@pfightingpolish]

No, that's right. The area north of The House is known as the Wyoming Valley, just south of the Wisconsin River and encompassing Sneed and Rush Creek. I get there's some cognitive dissonance with it being the Wyoming Valley in Iowa County in the middle of Wisconsin, but those are all correct.

sure looks like a case engine too me

[@bizznasty2512]

Not Wyoming. Wisconsin.

The valley is called the Wyoming valley

It’s sad that most of the violins and musical items didn’t actually work they were kinda just a scam

[@Female-rapvault]

They did work at one point but and instrument goes out of tune every time it gets played. After getting played at least fifty times a day it would sound pretty bad. There are certain machines that do play! Hope this helped
