Travel Wisconsin’s scenic rural roads to experience Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin, presented to your group with lively commentary by professional guides. A visit to the Taliesin estate is an intimate look at the 70-year career of one of America’s greatest architects. Constructed of natural materials and designed to be a part of the surrounding landscape – these buildings are the most personal of Wright’s masterpieces. His cherished community lifestyle and groundbreaking philosophies were founded in the hills of this Driftless Area valley. Constantly inspired by nature, Wright’s endless ideas are apparent in the experimental, organic architecture present in the buildings. Your group will have a one-of-a-kind experience at Taliesin, now part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
