A Day Out with Frank Lloyd Wright ~ Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob
Price includes lunch and gratuities, some accommodations can be made for limited mobility.
Set off from Pittsburgh and head to Bear Run, Pennsylvania where you will visit Frank Lloyd Wright's Masterpiece, Fallingwater. The property was designed for the Kaufmanns, a prominent Pittsburgh family known for their distinctive sense of style and taste. The genius of architect Frank Lloyd Wright to physically and spiritually embrace the natural world is captured in the daring and innovative architecture set among the forest landscape of Bear Run and would lay the foundation for Fallingwater—one of the greatest architectural triumphs of the 20th century. Enjoy lunch on site before departing for your second stop, Kentuck Knob.
Both dramatic and serene, Kentuck Knob is situated just below the crest of a great hill and appears almost part of the hill itself. An organic floor plan, cantilevered overhangs, and great expanses of glass effortlessly integrate the interior of the house with its surrounding landscape. On a tour of Kentuck Knob, you will learn about the Hagan family, Frank Lloyd Wright, and the architect's vision for the house.
