Meet us where Prairie Style architecture thrived
If you have an interest in architecture, American history and the natural world, you simply must take a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio, where the renowned architect both lived and worked some of the most famous buildings in the country. Located in the aptly titled Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District, you can walk through the Wright family home and the studio in which Wright met clients, drafted designs and pioneered Prairie School architecture, a distinctly American style.
You won't have to go far to see some of the structures Wright designed either. Nearly 30 Frank Lloyd Wright-designed homes sit within a mile of the home and studio within the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District.
And if you haven't gotten your fill of Wright, the home and studio also has a gift shop, where you can purchase art, posters, books and more!
Guided tours of the home and studio are offered daily between 10 a.m.-4 p.m. most of the year and between 10 a.m.-3 p.m. in January and February.
If you plan to combine your tour with an enhanced Unity Temple tour, Saturday mornings are the best time to visit.
If you want to see even more of the Wright-designed buildings nearby, enhanced guided tours are available on Saturdays and Sundays April through November at 10 a.m. and noon. Guided cycling tours are offered Saturday and Sundays, May through October at 9:30 a.m.
For a special experience, visit Oak Park for the one-day-only Wright Plus Housewalk when tours of the interior of eight homes are on display (May 21, 2022).
Your guides at the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust are passionate about educating and inspiring the public about Wright’s designs. The Trust also offers tours at Unity Temple down the street.
The Home and Studio is located at 951 Chicago Ave. in Oak Park. It is a 15-minute walk from the Oak Park stop on the CTA Green line as well as from the Metra Union Pacific West Line. It is a 20-minute drive from downtown Chicago.
