The house is very cool with an "infinity room" jutting out of the rock the house is built on (really into). The guy who built the house collected things and housed them in a spectacular series of warehouses -you'll spend all day. There are musical automatons like the one in this post and also a number of items completely made up and totally steampunky -proof that Steampunk has been around for a very long time. Not far from there is Dr. Evermor's Art Park, home of the Forevertron. http://worldofdrevermor.com/ Also nearby is Taliesen, Frank Loyd Wright's studio. It's a great weekend trip and beats the hell out of Wisconsin Dells. Seeing this reminded me of The House on the Rock

If he wants to put on his goggles, does he have to slide them up off the hat first? Gorgeous automaton, but why do steampunkers wear goggles that won’t fit down over the brims of their hats?
