June 20-23, 2022 (Monday - Thursday)

This four day trip to Wright's Wisconsin home takes us first to the city of Milwaukee.  There, we'll enjoy a dinner and talk with a well-respected Wright speaker, Kim Bixler, author of "Growing Up In a Frank Lloyd Wright House".  Tuesday finds us traveling to a block of "American Systems Built" homes designed by the great architect.  With both a tour of the fully-restored 1-story unit and a tour of the in-process 2-story duplex, we'll explore Wright's vision for pre-fabricated homes in the 19-teens and the business tensions that sidelined the project.   Swinging to decades later in his career, we'll explore the unusual Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church and hear the fantastic story of its creation and the way the congregation still uses the massive structure today.   Wednesday finds us in Spring Green to visit a non-Wright project, which still has to be seen to be believed.  "House on the Rock" is one of those American roadside attractions that boggles the mind.  While the original structure created by Alex Jordan perches on an enormous rock outcropping, it's his subsequent collections that make for a 1/2 day of very unusual browsing and amazement.  We will also visit the Wyoming Valley School for a tour by Dave Zaleski, the executive director, meet folks from Taliesin, and enjoy a mid-day meal, returning to the Spring Valley Inn for the night.   Our final day is the home of Frank Lloyd Wright.  His Wisconsin base, which he used each spring and summer until his death, features a school, windmill, barns, small houses, and the main house which make up the 700+ acre estate.  We'll enjoy a 4-hour tour of the property, with stops at iconic locations like the main drafting room, Wright's living room, the blue loggia, and the master's bedroom.

[This was another fantastic adventure with fantastic folks that joined us! We will go back again next April!]

Join us for this quick three day trip to Southwestern Pennsylvania.  We'll meet up in Pittsburgh for a wonderful dinner and informative talk by a Frank Lloyd Wright expert before traveling by motorcoach to our hotel near Fallingwater. On Saturday, we'll travel to Polymath Park to visit two amazing Frank Lloyd Wright homes that were saved and moved to the property.  After a gourmet lunch at the Treetops restaurant, we'll take an in-depth tour of Kentuck Knob, a magnificent Grand Usonian home designed by the famous architect.  Sunday will find us at that bucket list location: Fallingwater.  We'll spend several hours getting first an up close look at the house (both interior and exterior), followed by time on the grounds, a wonderful boxed lunch created by their in-house chefs, and photos at the iconic overlook of the majestic home.  A leisurely coach ride back to the Pittsburgh Airport gives time to reflect on a whirlwind weekend and the memories made along the way.
