Depart Pittsburgh this morning for a tour of Frank Lloyd Wrights’ Fallingwater.  Tours at Fallingwater discuss the house, Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture and the integration of the house with its beauty and natural landscape.  All tours through Fallingwater are guided tours led by professional interpreters.  There is a 1/4 mile gradual downhill walk outdoors, on a gravel driveway, from the Visitor Center to Fallingwater with a marvelous first view.  You will become aware of the rhythmic interplay between the interior and exterior spaces by the numerous terraces, open-air walkways and unexpected view of the trees and water as you move through the house.  A boxed lunch will be included with your visit.
