There is a tourist trap located near Spring Green, Wisconsin called The House
on the Hill. The house was designed and built by a wealthy acrhitect and it
is rather unusually and fairly interesting; but the real draw is his
collection of collections.
The architect didn't seem to enjoy collecting individual pieces of pottery or
paintings or porcelain dolls or whatever; he preferred to buy entire
collections that somebody else had put together. Among his collections is an
entire carousel with something like 100 animals on it and not one horse.
Mounted on the walls of the warehouse sized room with the carousel is a huge
collection of carousel horses. It takes several hours to wander through all
the warehouses of rooms with his collections, after awhile you get saturated
with looking and just kind off follow the maze hoping to get out - SOON!
This place is located not far from Frank Lloyd Wrights studio and home,
Teliasin East and a visit there is very worthwhile. I wouldn't go out of my
way to see The House on the Hill, but the two places make it a worthwhile
visit.
