Meet us where Wright is on every corner
When the architecture experts at the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust describe Wright Around Oak Park as the most comprehensive of the Trust’s many tour offerings, you know you are in for an architectural treat.
This 2.5-hour tour begins with an expanded tour of Wright’s Home and Studio. The designs that Wright worked on here would soon become known throughout the world as Prairie style, a distinctly American style of architecture that blends buildings with their natural surroundings.
See where it all began with this exclusive expanded tour that includes access to the studio balcony (not included on the standard tour!)
Since the tour is limited to just eight people, you’ll be a step ahead of the crowds as you learn how Wright designed his own home and creative space.
Then you’ll step into the neighborhood for an expanded walking tour that includes an expert’s description of the exterior of ten Wright homes. See the evolution of the Prairie style as Wright transformed the neighborhood where he lived and worked with his innovative designs.
This guided walking tour is about 0.8 miles in length.
The Wright Around Oak Park guided walking tours take place on Saturdays and Sundays from April through November beginning at noon.
This 2.5-hour, comprehensive guided walking tour of Frank Lloyd Wright designs in Oak Park is $65 or $60 for Frank Lloyd Wright Trust members.
The experts at the Frank Lloyd Wright Trust offer a diverse selection of intriguing tours around Oak Park, including the Pedal Oak Park bicycle tour.
Your tour guide will dive deep into the Wright designs in and around the neighborhood and will detail the fascinating history of the man himself.
The Wright Around Oak Park tour begins at the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio at 951 Chicago Avenue in Oak Park. The Home and Studio is a 15-minute walk from the Oak Park stop on the “L” Green Line or a 20-minute drive from downtown Chicago.
