Travel Tour: Fallingwater, Kentuck Knob and the Best of Pittsburgh
September 17 – 20, 2015
It should be on your bucket list. Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwater is a masterpiece. But no matter how many pictures you’ve seen of it, nothing compares to walking through its rooms, hearing the rush of water beneath the balcony, and strolling down the wooded path to witness this iconic view with your own two eyes. But there’s much more to this trip: the lesser known but equally amazing Wright designed Kentuck Knob, opening night of the Pittsburgh Symphony (after dining in their elegant Mozart Room) rides on the Monongahela Incline Railroad, the Nationality Rooms at the Cathedral of Learning (classrooms designed to celebrate Pittsburgh’s many immigrant cultures) dinner in a former church turned gastropub, and much more. Last year’s travel tour sold out – click here to learn more and for a detailed description of the itinerary.
