Where Nature and Architecture Converge
Monday, August 25, 2025
Registration Opens Soon
Taliesin is the home of Frank Lloyd Wright's Wisconsin home for nearly 50 years Taliesin means "shining brow" in Welch. In honor of his heritage and is built on the brow of a hill in Wisconsin's Driftless region. Join us and immerse yourself in Taliesin's unique mix of architecture, nature, culture, and agriculture in Spring Green. This will be an intimate look at the 70-year career of one of America's greatest architects, with a professional guide, in the hills of the Driftless Area valley. Following lunch, we will visit downtown Spring Green. As always, there will be a surprise stop on our trip.
