I’m a WPC member. May I bring a guest?

Yes! We encourage you to bring guests and appreciate your help in introducing new friends to WPC. We simply ask that you RSVP by May 2 (reserve lunch by April 25).

Can I attend part of the day, rather than the entire day?

Yes! The day’s activities are free for members (except for the buffet lunch), so enjoy as much of the event as your schedule allows. You can attend any of activities held in the Fireplace Room at The Barn, sign up for a morning or afternoon guided hike, and attend the 11:00 AM Annual Meeting.

How do I schedule a tour of Fallingwater?

Fallingwater tours are free but please make reservations in advance of Members’ Day. This will help you to plan other activities ahead of time. Call Visitor Services 724-329-8501 to reserve your tour time. You can drive across the road to Fallingwater, or take a shuttle that runs every 15-20 minutes between The Barn and the Visitor Center. Please plan to arrive at the Fallingwater Visitor Center 20 minutes before your tour is scheduled. Please note that children age 6 and older can tour Fallingwater.

Will you have any activities for children?

Members’ Day is a wonderful outing for families and we love seeing kids enjoying nature! We’ve designed hands-on activities and offer nature walks geared to families with young children.

Is the event handicapped-accessible?

Yes. We have both handicapped-accessible parking and facilities. If you have additional questions about accommodations, please contact Warren Mitchell, Fallingwater Membership Coordinator, at 724-329-7824 or wmitchell@paconserve.org.

What’s on the menu for the day? Does lunch include vegetarian options?

A free continental breakfast is available from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Breakfast includes a choice of granola, yogurt and toppings, fresh fruit, bagels and muffins. If you’d like to join us for a plentiful lunch buffet, the cost is $23 per adult and free for children 10 and under. Lunch reservations are required by April 25th. You’re also welcome to bring your own lunch. The lunch buffet includes a choice of grilled chicken, veggie or beef burgers, all-beef hot dogs, pulled pork and a choice of vegetarian salads and a salad bar, cookies and brownies for dessert.

Can I purchase the buffet lunch the day of the event?

Lunch reservations are required by April 25th. If you’re not sure you want to pack your own lunch, please pre-register for the lunch buffet.

How difficult are the hikes?

We will have guided walks and hikes suited for all fitness levels, from meandering nature walks for the casual stroller to more rugged trails for the experienced hiker. A description of each hike is available on the Members’ Day Schedule .

What is the Annual Meeting?

This is a great way to learn a little more about the valuable work that your membership supports! Members participate in electing the officers of the board. WPC’s President and CEO Tom Saunders presents a brief overview of highlights from the previous year and staff share the financial report and two-minute presentations featuring projects from WPC’s programs. The meeting starts at 11:00 AM in the Fireplace Room of the Barn and ends in time for lunch.

I’m traveling from out of town. Where can I stay? How do you get to Fallingwater?

Please visit our Fallingwater website for travel information: https://fallingwater.org/visit/hotels-attractions-travel-information/

What should I wear to the event?

This is a casual, fun day! Comfortable clothing and walking shoes are best. Dress in layers for the weather.

What happens if it rains?

Members’ Day is held rain or shine. If you plan to take a walk or hike, please wear appropriate shoes and bring rain gear. There are indoor presentations, exhibits and Fallingwater tours to enjoy if you would rather not hike in the rain.

Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted to Members’ Day.

Do I need to bring anything special with me, such as my membership card or a confirmation email?

There is no need to bring anything extra. If you’ve pre-registered, you’re all set! We look forward to seeing you!
