Came across an article in the Jan 13th Wisconsin State Journal, that an old Wisconsin Dells favorite, and one of the earlier tourist attractions is evidently a thing of the past.
The Wonder Spot was a small cabin where the laws of gravity were somewhat broken where chairs seemed to balance on two legs and water flowed uphill. The actual reason was that it was built at the same angle as the uphill slope of the hill it was built on.
The village of Lake Delton bought the land it was located on in 2006 for planned highway improvements.
It may be gone, but at least 13 of the items from it were acquired by the Wisconsin Historical Society including a ladder, chair, flywheel, water bucket, and a water can for poring water uphill.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
