MS&T '08 Tour

Fallingwater Tour
Monday, October 6 • 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Drive through the magnificent mountain scenery of the Laurel Highlands by privately chartered coach to Fallingwater, famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright's most widely acclaimed work. More than 1 million people from every corner of the earth have come to see this masterpiece, built as a summer home for the Edgar Kaufmann family, prominent Pittsburgh merchants.

Dramatic cantilevered terraces soar over a cascading waterfall. The living room hearth embodies an immense boulder in the setting nature created. Completed in 1939 with guest wing and servants quarters, it is as fresh today as when it was built. This breathtaking house was judged by the American Institute of Architects in 1986 to be the nation's most successful example of architectural design. It is described as the clearest expression of Wright's ideal ... that man can live in harmony with nature. This tour includes a boxed lunch and beverage.
