Mill Run, Pa. – Nov. 15 – Fallingwater, Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterwork located in the scenic Laurel Highlands, will offer free admission to Fayette County residents during its biannual Fayette County Appreciation Days on Friday, Nov. 18, and Sunday, Nov. 20.
Last November, more than 650 Fayette County residents visited Fallingwater during Fayette County Appreciation Days. In addition to touring the house, visitors are invited to explore the latest exhibition in the Speyer Gallery called “Before and After Fallingwater: Benno Janssen’s and Richard Neutra’s Houses for the Kaufmanns.” Free educational activities will also be offered throughout the day in the Hillman Education Pavilion, located behind the gallery.
Advance reservations for tours are essential to guarantee admittance. Tours are available from 10 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Residents are encouraged to call 724-329-8501 for information and reservations.
Fayette County residents had an important role in Fallingwater’s history and remain actively involved in its ongoing preservation, interpretation and stewardship. Residents of the county helped to build the iconic home and numerous area residents now serve as staff or volunteers at the world-renowned house museum.
