National Mustard Museum

Middleton, Wisconsin

Home to over 6,000 mustards from more than 70 countries, this delightfully eccentric museum celebrates the world's favorite condiment. Visitors can view historical mustard pots, browse vintage advertisements, and sample hundreds of varieties at the famous tasting bar.

Dr. Evermor's Forevertron

Sumpter, WI

Built in the 1980s by Tom Every, this is the world's largest scrap metal sculpture, standing 50 feet tall and weighing 320 tons. This retro-futuristic Victorian spaceship was designed to launch its creator into the heavens. Amazingly, the sculpture incorporates actual Apollo-era decompression chambers.

The House on the Rock

Spring Green, Wisconsin

Designed by Alex Jordan Jr. and opened in 1959, this bizarre architectural marvel sits atop a chimney of rock. It features a sprawling maze of eclectic collections, including the world's largest indoor carousel, automated music machines, and a dizzying Infinity Room that juts out 218 feet over the valley below.
