Seeing Frank Lloyd Wrights 'Fallingwater' home has been on our bucket list for a number of years. This home is found in Mill Run, Pennsylvania and is located over a water fall.
We arranged for an extended two hour tour when the home opened in the morning and had a relatively secluded time to enjoy the experience before large numbers of folks showed up. They have more than 160,000 people tour the home every year so the crowds can be considerable.
