TALIESIN
Tour, dine, and shop at the Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center at Riverview Terrace – the place where all tours of Taliesin depart.
Taliesin Preservation welcomes visitors to Spring Green to explore the extraordinary home, studio, and 800- acre estate of America’s most iconic architect, Frank Lloyd Wright.
Taliesin was Wright’s home for
nearly 50 years and is located in rural Spring Green. The property includes buildings from nearly every decade of his career, spanning the 1890s to the 1950s, including two homes, a school, barn, windmill, and restaurant. If you’ve been to a Wright building before, you will recognize something about that building here at Taliesin.
Wright appropriately named his Wisconsin residence Taliesin, which means “shining brow” in Welsh, in honor of his Welsh heritage and the fact that he built his home on the “brow” of the hill in harmony with nature. His architectural designs always took the natural environment into consideration and his ideas were well ahead of his time.
Learn more about Frank Lloyd Wright’s architecture and ideas on a tour of his stunning home and estate.
A tour of Taliesin provides a uniquely comprehensive look at a busy architect’s body of work. Taking inspiration from the surrounding hills and valley, Frank Lloyd Wright constructed Taliesin as a “living laboratory” where he and his apprentices experimented with new building techniques.
In 2019, Taliesin was inscribed as part of a UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, Cultural Organization) World Heritage Site for The 20th Century Architecture
of Frank Lloyd Wright. In 1976, it was declared a National Historic Landmark.
