Taliesin

Our first main stop was Frank Lloyd Wright's home in Spring Green Wisconsin, which is named Taliesin. We took a 2-hour tour of the house and property, which was very cool. The setting is beautiful, and the architecture, of course, is amazing. The one surprising thing is that the house actually needs a lot of work. They are working on some major renovations, but they need more funding. The thing we did like about it is that it felt "real" - it didn't feel like a sanitized museum - it felt like a real home. The family and the architecture students still actually use and live on the property.
