Why you should go…

From 1889 to 1909, Frank Lloyd Wright lived and worked in this shingled Oak Park home, using it as his architectural laboratory while he developed the Prairie style that changed American design. Hour-long guided interior tours led by the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust move through the family home and the light-filled drafting studio where dozens of landmark buildings were conceived. Pair it with the audio walking tour of the surrounding historic district, home to the world's largest concentration of Wright-designed buildings.
