Fallingwater was designed by world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 over a waterfall as a weekend home for the Kaufman family, merchants in Pittsburgn.  TIMEcalled it Wright's "most beautiful job," and the house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. In 1991, the AIA named Fallingwater the "best all-time work of American architecture."  It's the most famous Modernist house in America.

Did you know that just a few miles away, there's another remarkable Wright house, Kentuck Knob, and its world-class outdoor sculpture garden? That's included.


Want to see more Modernist houses by Wright and his apprentices?

And this is the Lindholm House, aka Mantyla, also at Polymath Park.

The itinerary, number, and order of trip events are subject to change without notice or refund.

The chances of this happening are very small, but it could happen, so be prepared. One personal item and one carry-on only.No checked luggage allowed. Parking at RDU is not included.
