I like to take road trips and one of the reasons I like them so mush is because I love to take pictures of places and things. I came across the Farnsworth House while looking into Fallingwater. I had seen the house in photos before, but didn't realize it was relatively close to me. So, I added it to the road trip stops. It was $20 for the tour (plus fees) and that's about what I would expect for something like this. It's slightly highbrow and charging a bit more keeps out people that aren't really interested in seeing it and would not be respectful of what it is. Basically, if you are paying $20 each to go, you're going to be smart enough not to touch anything. The tour starts at the gift shop and you walk down a trail, over a creek to the edge of the yard at the house. You meet your guide (who was awesome) and she took us to a few spots outside to tell us the history of the planning, construction, who has owned it and what has happened to the property over the years. All of it is very interesting. You then head up onto the porch, take off your shoes and then head in. Since we are going through "this virus thing", we had to wear masks and she told us to disperse around the house so we weren't on top of each other. It worked well. I managed pictures of everything I wanted with nobody blocking my views. It's a really interesting house. Once we had our fill inside, we were free to walk around the property and check out the trails and stuff. I checked out the boat house, the pool, and the tennis courts, which are all disused. I made my way back to the gift shop and checked out the round building next door that houses a wardrobe that was to be in the house. There is a reason that it isn't in the house, but I won't spoil the stories. I did pick up a book on the house and my usual magnet and stuff. The gift shop is excellent for architecture fans. There is also a wall that has the history of the house and it's timeline. From check in to me leaving, it was about 2:15 total time. I could have spent more time checking out the river and getting more photographs, but I needed to head to my next destination.

Paint Your Own Pottery Studio
Reviewed By gailgY681QX
This is the coolest place ever. I have been running a meet-up here as well as going several times with a friend. The women in the meet-up just love it. My friend and I love it as well because we keep going back. We have done both ceramics and glass fusion. George, the owner, is just great and very willing to show you how to do things you never dreamed you could. He is just a pleasure to work with! If you want a fun couple of hours, head on down to his Highlands Ranch store or the one in Castle Rock. I guarantee fun and a great art piece you can be proud of!
