Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin Preservation

Discover a Modern Architectural Masterpiece Explore the home and landscape that most completely embody Frank Lloyd Wright’s philosophy of organic architecture. Taliesin served as the architect’s private residence, studio and school from 1911 until his death in 1959. A National Historic Landmark in Spring Green, Wisconsin, the estate is among the eight Wright buildings collectively named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019. It is an exemplar of the innovative architectural style that made Wright’s work so ahead of his time. You will learn about Wright’s profound influence on 20th-century architecture as you explore his personal residence and learn how he used his own home as a laboratory for experimenting with new ideas.
