Why you should go…

Kentuck Knob is a Usonian house Frank Lloyd Wright designed in the 1950s for the Hagan family, built on a hexagonal module from native sandstone, cypress and a copper roof. The National Historic Landmark sits on the southern slope of a knoll in the Laurel Highlands overlooking the Youghiogheny River gorge. Guided tours cover the house's design and history, and the grounds include a sculpture walk with works by artists such as Andy Goldsworthy and Anthony Caro.
