A Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterpiece, Fallingwater is one of the many attractions that draw visitors to the Laurel Highlands.

While the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy works on its plans for tours inside the Fallingwater house in Mill Run, Fayette County, the grounds will reopen Saturday with self-guided and guided private tours.

The iconic Frank Lloyd Wright home has been closed since March 15 because of covid-19 restrictions.

However, the Conservancy wants to give the public a chance to visit the architectural masterpiece in person on its grounds or virtually.

Fallingwater visitor services will contact the patrons with existing reservations to schedule an outdoor tour and to provide updates on tour options.

The Conservancy is projecting a significant revenue decrease in 2020 for Fallingwater because of the three-month closure. Social distancing practices will likely limit the capacity for visitors for the second half of the year.

Fallingwater is trying to continue fundraising efforts and providing virtual tours, at-home activities, online summer sessions, webinars and more.
