About Fallingwater

Fallingwater is the house Frank Lloyd Wright designed as a weekend retreat for the Kaufmann family of Pittsburgh, built partly over a waterfall on Bear Run; the family began using it in 1937. Guided architectural tours take you through the interior and include full access to the grounds, while a grounds pass covers the exterior and landscape only. The Western Pennsylvania Conservancy has run it as a museum since 1963, and UNESCO added it to the World Heritage List in 2019.
