  • Just outside Rockport is the curious Paper House. The entire house including walls, doors and much of the furniture inside was made out of newspapers by a mechanical engineer in 1922. I'm not sure...

  • I think this unique site gets passed by ... its tucked away in a quiet, little neighborhood. The house and furniture within are made of newspaper. It's a $2 donation to visit. Honor system (there's a box on adjacent property to leave donation). You enter on your own and take your time browsing. It's worth the stop if your already in the area.
  • This place is such a cool stop if you are in or near Rockport and like quirky things. We spent about 15 minutes here. Thanks to the owners for preserving their family history and doing such a great job of maintaining this! The paper piano was very impressive. Even the newspaper headlines were made to line up facing the viewer. Honor code donation of $2 per person. Totally reasonable.
