Welcome Center & Alex Jordan Jr. Center

Built alongside the infamous The House on the Rock, the Welcome Center and the Alex Jordan Jr. Center are popular tourist attractions.

The Alex Jordan Jr. Center includes a walk-out garden, gift shop, and multiple rooms documenting Alex’s life toward his passion for creative minded visionary architecture. Exposed timber beams and supports provide the structural frame to the buildings, while stone masonry covers the base of the building and is used as pillars throughout the attraction. Covered bridges allow for easy transportation, seamlessly connecting each attraction at The House on the Rock.
