Fountain City, WI
Fountain City Rock Garden - John and Bertha Mehringer

between 1933 - 1935
Environment with rocks


Information:


Built: 1933-1935

This charming, hillside rock garden was most likely influenced by other area grottos, such as Dickeyville and the Wegner grottos. In the fall of 2007, most of it will be moved from its present location to the Prairie Moon sculpture Garden, just down Highway 35, towards Cochrane.
