Rock In The House

Rock In The House
Fountain City, Wisconsin (WI), US
On April 24, 1995, a 55-ton boulder suddenly rolled 400 feet down a cliff along the Mississippi river and plowed into the 2-bedroom house of Maxine and Dwight Anderson. When the dust settled the Anderson's found a huge, coin-shaped rock where their master bedroom used to be. The rock is still there today. John Burt, a local real estate investor, bought the house -- with the rock still firmly wedged inside it -- and turned it into a tourist attraction: The Rock In The House.

The name "The Rock In The House" is a play on words from another Wisconsin tourist attraction "The House on the Rock"
