Fallingwater was designed by world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935 over a waterfall as a weekend home for the Kaufman family, merchants in Pittsburgn.  TIMEcalled it Wright's "most beautiful job," and the house was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1966. In 1991, the AIA named Fallingwater the "best all-time work of American architecture."

All participants are required to sign our standard liability release before going on the trip.

The itinerary, number, and order of trip events are subject to change without notice or refund.

There is a small but possible risk of overnight stay if buses and/or flights are delayed, in which case participants are responsible for any additional costs of meals, lodging, transportation, and incidental expenses. The chances of this happening are very small, but it could happen, so be prepared.

One personal item and one carry-on only.  No checked luggage allowed. Parking at RDU is not included.
