Join us on Saturday, September 6, from 9am-4pm, for an exclusive, behind-the-scenes adventure where the Taliesin estate will be closed to the general public!
We’ve handpicked the absolute best of Taliesin and wrapped it into one unforgettable experience. Brought to you by Wright in Wisconsin in collaboration with Taliesin Preservation and the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, this is your chance to explore Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece with unprecedented access.
In addition to Taliesin highlights, you'll have access to areas typically closed to the public, including:
Cornelia Brierly’s living quarters
Hillside Drafting Studio dormitories
Tan-y-Deri (Porter residence)
Romeo and Juliet Windmill
Joe’s Cottage
Midway Barn (exterior only)
This isn’t your average tour. We're offering an intimate, custom-curated experience with unprecedented access. Shuttle service will run throughout the property, stopping at key locations where docents will guide you through the stories and spaces that shaped Frank Lloyd Wright’s legacy.
Experience more than architecture—enjoy preservation talks, a live piano performance, behind-the-scenes collection viewings, a kitchen garden tour, and a special presentation by a Taliesin Fellow.
