WHERE ART AND
N AT U R E M E E T
Spring Green and the River Valley
area are special. Somehow this land
escaped the last great Ice Age, as
well as the one before that. What you
see here, and nowhere else in the
Upper Midwest, is a landscape
sculpted at least a half million years
earlier than anything else around it.
The
results
are
breathtaking:
rolling hills and bluffs that overlook the
Wisconsin River Valley, and a setting
infused with ageless beauty.
Spring Green was founded in 1857
by Welsh, English, Norwegian and
German
immigrants
whose
industries were dairy and produce
farms,
lumbering
and
cheese
production. Today, agriculture remains
integral to the area economy and
its residents.
The House on the Rock
SPRINGGREEN.COM
SPRING GREEN is situated in south
central Wisconsin, 40 miles due west
of the state’s capital city of Madison.
It’s a short, scenic drive from Dubuque,
Baraboo, Galena and many other
destination cities.
Another tradition has grown on this
land as well: a dynamic and spirited
arts scene. Frank Lloyd Wright’s
Taliesin, American Players Theatre and
The House on the Rock collectively
attract hundreds of thousands of
visitors each year. A host of artists,
musicians and craftspeople who live
and work in the River Valley add to the
experience.
But what makes the River Valley
stand out is an infectious sense
of community. The residents of this
area are dedicated to helping
their
neighbors
and
welcoming
visitors. We hope you will feel
welcome and become part of the
River Valley community whether
you’re visiting for a day or staying
here permanently.

THE HOUSE
ON THE
ROC K
The House On The Rock began in 1945 when a man
named Alex Jordan had a towering goal: to build a retreat
as awe-inspiring as the view from the rock upon which
the House would eventually be built.
What took shape on and around Deer Shelter Rock is a truly
remarkable achievement. The House was only the beginning.
In the years that followed, Alex expanded his vision beyond the
House and collected and built on a massive scale. In the end he
had created the world-renowned attraction known as The House
on the Rock.
books and sculpture. In the years that followed, he added more
rooms – thirteen in all by the early 1960s. Alex never drew up
any plans for the House but built directly from the ideas in his
head. He was not afraid to tear down, backtrack and re-build if
things were not to his liking.
Jordan’s grand project began attracting attention from friends
and passersby. As the number of sightseers increased, he built a
staircase for them – now a 375-foot ramp through the tree tops.
ON E MAN ’ S D R E AM
Geologists say this lush green valley was once covered by a
huge ocean. The waters eroded the stone and left craggy rock
formations towering over the valley floor. Alex first spied one
such unusual outcropping of rock called Deer Shelter Rock,
which by then had become a popular picnic spot, on a family
outing when he was a boy. By the early 1940s he was already
dreaming of building a house there.
And so began his life-long endeavor. At first he built what he
called a “shack”, but tore it down because he was not satisfied.
He then rebuilt and called his creation “The Winter Room,” which
he used as a private retreat to pursue his interests in music,

PLAN TO V I S I T S OON
Since those early days, the world Alex Jordan created has grown
far beyond the original house and into an attraction with many
buildings, exhibits and collections. During the regular season,
the attraction has three sections. If you are not able to visit all
three sections in one day, you may return to see the remaining
sections, or purchase a ticket for only one section.
ATTRACTIONS
In 1960, he bowed to the inevitable and opened The House on
the Rock to the public, charging fifty cents for admission. The
revenue was immediately reinvested in expanding the scope of
his dream. What started as a simple “shack,” a sculptor’s retreat,
continues to charm and fascinate thousands of visitors from
around the world.
The regular season runs from March 14 to November 10, 2013,
and all three sections are open.
At Christmastime, the House on the Rock is transformed with the
splendor and joy of the holiday season. Santa takes up residence
in a big way! As you stroll through the shortened tour of
exhibits, you’ll be greeted by more than 6,000 collectible
Santas of all sizes and types – large, small, fancy and homespun.
Christmas at The House on the Rock runs from November 14,
2013 to January 5, 2014.
For rates, dates and other information, please call (608) 9353639 or visit the website at www.thehouseontherock.com.
In Section One, you’ll visit the foundation of Alex Jordan’s vision
– the architecture and magnificent structures of the Original
House and the Gate House. Section One also includes the Infinity
Room, the Alex Jordan Center, the Japanese Garden, the Asian
Garden and the Container Gardens and Pavilion.
Section Two moves from the unique architecture of the House
to the imaginative contents and creations of Jordan’s vision,
including the Mill House, Streets of Yesterday, The Heritage of the
Sea, Tribute to Nostalgia, Music of Yesterday, Spirit of Aviation,
and The Carousel.
Section Three focuses on Alex Jordan’s varied and eclectic
collections that range from the miniature to the magnificent:
the Carousel, the Organ Room, Inspiration Point, The Doll
House Room, The Circus Room, The Galleries and The Doll
Carousel Room.

this tour include the charming, light-filled
Assembly Hall, the dramatic 5,000-squarefoot Drafting Studio, the Romeo and Juliet
Windmill Tower, and the jewel-like Theater.
Taliesin House Tour
The House Tour guides you through rooms
that Wright imagined and built, exploring
the rich canvas he worked on every day
of his life. You’ll experience the landscaped
grounds, furnishings, collected objects
and, of course, the building itself. From
the Taliesin courtyards and gardens,
you are afforded a commanding view of
the beautiful valley settled by Wright’s
ancestors, while the interior portion of the
tour explores Taliesin’s famed living room,
the garden room, loggia, bedroom, and
studio.
F R A N K L L O Y D W R I G H T ’S
TAL I ESI N
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin Estate is truly among the
world’s treasures. His home, surrounded by 600 acres of
rolling hills in southwestern Wisconsin, traces not only
Wright’s long and fruitful career, but ranks as one of the
most thorough explorations of Organic Architecture.
The Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center is your gateway to all
things Frank Lloyd Wright. Overlooking the scenic Wisconsin
River is a Wright-designed building where you can purchase
a tour, shop for the perfect gift, or enjoy a meal, all while
taking in the picturesque view through windows which sweep
the entire building. No amount of study, reading or web
surfing can substitute for an in-person visit to Taliesin. Here
you’ll breathe the fresh country air of Wright’s Wisconsin
home, take in nature’s magnificent panorama, and trace the
arc of Frank Lloyd Wright’s creative vision.
Taliesin offers a variety of tours to fit each visitor’s level of
interest and familiarity:
Hillside Studio and Theater Tour
Wright designed Hillside in 1902 for his aunts, who ran
an innovative children’s boarding school based on the
motto “learn by doing.” Wright’s building, as innovative
as the school it housed, is situated on land cleared by his
pioneering grandparents. After his aunts retired, Wright reopened their building and expanded it to accommodate a
community of architects and designers ... a community that
continues to live and work at Hillside to this day. Highlights of

GUIDE
Highlights Tour
The Highlights Tour is a way to experience
the interiors of two significant, yet distinctly
different
Wright-designed
buildings,
Hillside and Taliesin. Created for the
Wright enthusiast and the casual visitor,
the Highlights Tour couples the history
and masterful design of two architectural
landmarks into one quick-paced twohour tour. Included is a drive through the
scenic Taliesin grounds past Midway Farm,
Taliesin’s former farming complex.
Estate Tour
The tour begins at the Frank Lloyd Wright® Visitor Center,
the only free-standing restaurant designed by Wright. From
there, the tour moves to Unity Chapel, built for Wright’s
maternal family, where Wright’s gravesite is located. Next,
the tour takes you to Hillside, the school that Wright designed
for his aunts. At Hillside, you’ll explore the Assembly Hall,
Fellowship Dining Room, Drafting Studio, the Theater and
gallery space. A country walk takes you past the Romeo and
Juliet Windmill Tower, the oldest design on the estate. Next,
you’ll get a close-up look at Tan-y-deri, the home Wright
built for his sister Jane Porter, and Midway Barns en route
to the house itself. Two hours into the tour, you’ll be served
light refreshments on Mr. Wright’s Terrace before enjoying
an exterior tour of his home. Finally, you’ll spend a delightful
hour inside Taliesin. Comfortable walking shoes are a must
for this tour, since it includes a mile-and-a-half hike from
one end of the estate to the other, with few places to sit
down.
Tours are available May through October. Reservations
are highly recommended. Call (608)588-7900 or (877)
588-7900 or visit www.taliesinpreservation.org for more
information.

Each year, downtown Spring Green hosts more than
200 local, regional and national artists for the Spring
Green Arts and Crafts Fair. The annual event
transforms the town’s main thoroughfare with block
after block of arts and crafts of all mediums. Food and
entertainment round out the festivities held on the last
full weekend of June (this year, June 29-30). For more,
visit www.springgreenartfair.com.
At the other end of summer in the River Valley, don’t
miss the opportunity to participate in one of the area’s
biggest and most adventurous events, the Fall Art Tour.
Scheduled for the third weekend of October (this year,
October 18-20), the tour combines fall color with
visits to artists’ studios tucked away in the scenic hills
and byways of area communities, including Baraboo,
Spring Green, Dodgeville and Mineral Point. It’s an
extraordinary opportunity to peek behind the scenes,
talk with artists and purchase a masterpiece. Whether
you plan a leisurely day trip or devote the entire threeday weekend to this self-paced, well-mapped tour, you’re
sure to enjoy some of the most exciting art – and finest
scenery – in southwest Wisconsin. For more information,
visit www.fallarttour.com.
In addition to these two unique events be sure to visit the
galleries, listed on the following page, throughout the
year.

HIKING
From state parks to nature preserves, the Spring Green
area offers hikes through the woods, prairies and
wetlands where you’ll witness all types of flora and
fauna. The following are a few places to begin:
A v o c a P r a i r ie
For wildflower and native plant enthusiasts, and for
those who like their recreation on the wild side, an
outing to this 970-acre wet-mesic prairie is highly
recommended. Located in the Avoca Unit of the Riverway,
seven miles west of the Lone Rock bridge on Hwy. 133,
the Avoca Prairie is the largest tall grass prairie east of the
Mississippi. It is probably the only place in the eastern U.S.
where, no matter where you stand, you only see natural
prairie-savanna features. We recommend that you check
in with the ranger station at Tower Hill State Park before
heading out to the prairie.
F e r r y B l uff
Located off Highway 60, four miles southwest of Sauk
City, Ferry Bluff has a spectacular and historical view of
the river and surrounding topography. To the north and
east you can see the Baraboo Hills, containing some of
the oldest rock in North America. On a clear day you
can spot the highest point in southern Wisconsin, Blue
Mounds, thirteen miles to the south.
RECREATION AL
ACTIVITIES

Tour historic factory and cheese store, started in 1879. Enjoy
fresh curds, specialty and organic cheeses. Visit the “Living
Machine” innovative water treatment system. Morning tours.
www.cedargrovecheese.com.
Saint Anne’s Chapel, built a half century ago on top of the
high, wooded hill west of the present day St. Luke’s Church
in Plain, is open at all times. A strenuous climb takes you
past the 14 stations of the Way of the Cross leading from
St. Luke’s through the cemetery and winding up the hill to
the chapel. A short distance down the hill from St. Anne’s
Chapel is a replica of the Lourdes Grotto. There are benches
along the path to allow for breaks.
Ferry Bluff is a spring nesting site for Cooper’s Hawks.
Winter visits are not allowed, however good winter
viewing of Ferry Bluff is possible from Conservation Road
just northwest of Mazomanie.
S PR I N G G R E E N PR E S E RV E
Located off Jones Road, two miles from Spring Green,
the Spring Green Preserve has been called the
“Wisconsin Desert,” with a variety of cacti, sand dunes
and dry grasses. It is an area where forest meets bluff
and bluff levels off into plains and dunes. The preserve’s
self-guided trail allows you to learn as you go. At
the trailhead, you will find a pamphlet containing
information corresponding to each of a series of
numbered markers along the trail.

s a m p l es … c h e c k o u r we b si t e f o r m o r e !
Real Store, Real Books
One of the newest additions to downtown Spring Green,
Arcadia Books is a place where you’ll want to spend
quality time. It’s cozy, friendly, and has an extraordinary
selection of books, from classics to bestsellers. No wonder
Terry Teachout from the Wall Street Journal called it “the
kind of store about which book lovers dream.” The Kitchen
at Arcadia Books serves up coffee and espresso, wine
and beer, salads, sandwiches and other tasty treats.
Art, Art, more Art
The River Valley is a hotbed of arts in all its forms. In
addition to the two major arts events that bookend the
summer - the Spring Green Art Fair in June and the
Fall Art Tour in October - And here’s a gallery not to
be missed. Jura Silverman Gallery and Wisconsin
Artists Showcase features the work of more than 50
of Wisconsin’s finest artists in a restored 1900s rural
Wisconsin Cheese Warehouse. You’ll see art in all media –
painting, sculpture, pottery, and more – not to mention a
printmaking studio and frame shop on premises.
An Afternoon on Albany Street
Park your car and enjoy a leisurely stroll and an afternoon
filled with discovery. Start with a satisfying lunch at the
General Store, a hangout for APT actors, local authors,
organic farmers and artists. Then cross the street to
browse seven little shops, finding treasures at every turn.
Find gifts, natural body care products, jewelry and more
at the aptly named Panacea, a serene haven of peaceful
shopping at 43/90 North Earth and original clothing
and accessories of woven and hand-loomed knit fabrics
at Dennis Alfred Phillips Art to Wear. Take a break
in the parklike setting of Albany Courtyard, and enjoy
iced tea and homemade pie at Bird of Paradise Tea
and Chocolate.
Let’s Talk about Jewelry
It’s fair to say that jewelry could be named the official
accessory of Spring Green, since the village boasts a trio
of shops devoted to it (not to mention the numerous other
galleries and shops that feature jewelry). At No Rules
Jewelry in the Albany Street Shops, shop for something
special, affordable and made by an American artist. Jewelry
rules, but you’ll also find unique treasures such as pottery,
glass, prints and paintings. Pamela’s Fine Jewelry, in
downtown Spring Green, is a full-service jewelry store
featuring a wide variety of styles and a pleasant staff. The
Opal Man on Winsted Street in Spring Green is the only
store in North America that specializes in opals and opal
jewelry. Located in a refurbished 1920s gas station, this
store is a must-see for any jewelry lover.
A Foodie’s Dream
Driftless Depot Café and Market is the type of store
where foodies love to spend some time. On one side, the
café offers excellent coffee (and real farm-fresh cream!),
espresso, wine and beer by the glass, deli and bakery items.
The market features locally farmed food, international
gourmet specialties and unique pantry items. Driftless
Depot is known throughout the area for conscientiously
sourced, high-quality, organic fresh foods. While you’re
there, pick up a custom picnic basket for your next outing.
Quilters! Do Not Miss This!
The Country Sampler on Jefferson Street in Spring
Green, has been named one of the country’s Top 10 quilt
stores. It’s known for reproduction quilt fabrics, custom
quilt kits, cross stitch and more. Even the non-quilter will
love the sumptuous fabrics, rustic elegance and friendly
staff. Next door is the yarn shop at Nina’s, located in
the back of Nina’s Department and Variety Store.
Serious knitters and crocheters will find one of the largest
selections of natural fiber yarn, accessories and books in
southwest Wisconsin.
Going with the Flow
Schedule your kayak, canoe, or tube rental with
Wisconsin Riverside Resort and enjoy a great morning
on the Wisconsin River. Be sure to bring your sunscreen
along. Stay and enjoy the views of the river while enjoying
a great burger from the grill.

Hiking a Desert in the Midwest
Hike the Spring Green Nature Conservancy just
outside of town. Climb up the bluff and take in the
view of the valley. This is often referred to as the
Spring Green Desert. Keep an eye out for some
interesting vegetation that grows here like prickly
pear cacti and succulents.
Thursday Night going Local
Visiting us on Thursday night is a real treat – Local
Night in the Post House Garden. Enjoy local
