Former location for The Wonder Spot (Lake Delton, Wisconsin)

 mysterious, 1952_construction, tourist attraction, 1950s construction

The location where The Wonder Spot used to be, from 1952 to 2006.

The Wonder Spot was discovered June 16, 1948. People who enter the spot, the sign warns, won't see correctly, stand erect "or feel quite normal...in fact, on the cabin site the laws of natural gravity seem to be repealed."

Louis Dauterman of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin acquired the property and opened the family-friendly Wonder Spot attraction in 1952. The Wonder Spot was advertised as a place “where the laws of natural gravity seem to be repealed”. Visitors walked down a ravine that led to a mysterious cabin hidden in the woods of Lake Delton, Wisconsin. Inside the cabin was a world of wonder! No one seemed to stand up straight, water flowed backwards, and chairs balanced on two legs! Guides at the attraction claimed that the bizarre happenings in the cabin were due to the strange rock formations of the area. In reality, the cabin was built perpendicular to a hillside and the strange happenings that visitors were experiencing were merely optical illusions!

The images taken at The Wonder Spot are a real hoot! Visitors can be seen standing at odd angles and perched upon strangely balanced chairs. Nearly every photograph shows visitors grinning from ear-to-ear!

The original address was at 100 Scott Drive, Lake Delton, WI 53940
