Absolutely great tour, very good docents, and incredible property. But the 1.5 hour (free) tour was just too short. No time to investigate the amazing museum at the end or even visit the gift shop. That seemed odd. Would have loved to have taken photos of the interior, not sure what that’s about but I would recommend this tour to anyone with even the slightest interest in Frank Lloyd Wright, history or architecture. My exterior photos were a hit with all my friends.

It may not be the most dramatic FLW Structure but what I loved is that they let you sit on some of the furniture, and after a short intro highlighting some of the great though leadership that has come out of Wingspread (like NPR) and a short video providing more history of the building, you are free to walk about the building at your leisure and enjoy the property at your speed. Whether it be the Juliette balcony, the bed Eleanor Roosevelt was know to curl up on or the grand living room with all its fireplaces. The stories of its creation, struggles and adventures of the family living in it allow you to imagine the property as it must have been. Plus, it is free to visit, you just need to schedule an appointment!
