Seniors are
welcome to join local families and adults on this day trip to explore the works
of renowned architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. When a successful Pittsburgh family,
the Kaufmans, hired Wright to build a vacation home with a view of a waterfall
on their mountain property, they were surprised to review his plans that
involved a house that extended over the waterfall! Falling Water is an incredible vacation
home that incorporates elements of the surrounding nature not just in the
architecture, but in minor home decorating and design details. Kentuck Knob is a small, hexagon shaped
one-story home located near Falling Water that Wright designed as part of his
mission to build smaller, affordable homes for common folk. This home includes
an open floor plan, cantilevered overhangs, and elements of nature within the
design. An amazing sculpture garden awaits visitors outside after the short
home tour. This trip includes lunch at the Falling Water café.
