Wisconsin Wonders: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin Estate
WisconsinEye toured Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin Estate, located in Spring Green, Wisconsin, on August 17, 2009. Keiran Murphy, Historic Researcher for Taliesin Preservation, Inc., guided the tour.
Never in my life have I been given a more sensitive and comprehending tour of anything, anywhere. Listening to her talk about Wright and looking at everything she pointed out, I felt as if my eyes had opened to twice their normal size.
