Proceeds from Your Visit

Proceeds from your visit and from any purchases through this site support the renovation of the Roff Home. Your visit to this home will help renew and sustatin it for future generations.

When the current owner purchased the Roff Home, it was in desperate need of a gut renovation to save it. Indeed, the home was in such bad shape that it had been recommended to both the past owners and to the current owner that the home be demolished.

The current owner has been adamant that the home be saved. It is a local gem of Victorian Italianate architecture, the first brick residence in the town and perhaps the county, the home of one of the founders of the town, the home of various important people in the town's history, and the home where much of the Watseka Wonder story took place. The Roff Home has captured people's imaginations for more than a century, and it has been well worth the effort to save it.

The money you pay to investigate the home goes directly back into the home to pay for renovation and restoration work. All proceeds from the tours, investigations, and video and book sales during 2009 helped pay for the renewal of the Victorian flooring in the front parlor, the restoration of the plastering, and the restoration of the radiators.

Your tour, investigation or overnight stay will help save this home so people can continue to explore and experience the Watseka Wonder story.

See the renovation work through the Roff Home blog and by visiting the home!
