Spring Green: Discover an Artsy Retreat

Just west of Madison, uncover a small community filled with artistic charm. The small town of Spring Green has a population of less than two thousand, but the beauty of its Driftless Region location has inspired many artists, including perhaps its most famous resident: architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Be sure to take a tour of Wright’s Taliesin, the artist’s iconic home on 800 acres and a National Historic Landmark.

Those interested in a quirky attraction should visit the House on the Rock. An exotic and eclectic creation of collections, displays, and galleries, House on the Rock is a dazzling retreat built in 1960 by Alex Jordan atop a chimney of natural rock. Featuring the world’s largest carousel, a glass infinity room and a 200-foot hanging sea creature, you’d never believe such a small town would be home to something so out-of-this-world.

Another hidden gem you’ll find here is American Players Theatre, the country’s second-largest outdoor theater devoted to the classics. Take a seat at the magical outdoor amphitheater and be amazed by any of the nine plays produced each season under the stars. Bring a picnic along to share with friends beforehand in the enchanting woods and meadows of the property for an unforgettable outing.

Tailor your getaway by choosing to stay at a resort on the river, a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired inn or a quirky bed and breakfast.
