Although it may be "hard to explain," the House on the Rock makes a guest appearance in last year's Hugo winner, "American Gods," by Neil Gaiman, featuring the carousel as a launching point to Valhalla (or something like that). It's a pretty good description of the place, in all its very weird glory. And once you are there, you are near the Frank Lloyd Wright area of Spring Green, Wisconsin, including Taliesin. And you are only an hour from us in Baraboo.

So too is the Milwaukee County Zoo. Both of these were light-years ahead of their time; the rest of the field spent decades catching up. Oh, and House on the Rock. An absolute must. Their billboard says it all: "So much to see; so hard to explain." -- Eugene Dillenburg ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
