SPRING GREEN

Frank Lloyd Wright’s famous country house and studio, Taliesin (tally-ESS-en), is in Spring Green, 70 miles east of Prairie du Chien via Hwy-60. Fully guided tours of the private residence and architecture school are offered daily May–October; ticket prices vary, depending on what’s included in the tour ($15–75; 608/588-7900). Spring Green is also home to the state’s biggest tourist trap, the incredible House on the Rock (daily; $20; 608/935-3639) with its “World’s Largest” merry-go-round, kitschy collections of everything from dolls to replicas of the Crown Jewels, and the eponymous house, standing atop a 450-foot-high rock.
