VIRTUAL TOUR OF THE MEETING HOUSE
The Frank Lloyd Wright Trail was established in 2017 to honor Frank Lloyd Wright, America's most famous architect, in his home state of Wisconsin. Along the 200-mile trail are nine sites chosen to provide architectural enthusiasts and casual visitors with a rich exposure to Wright’s genius.
The scenic trail traverses through nine counties in southern Wisconsin and includes Madison, Milwaukee, Racine, Richland Center, and Spring Green, offering dining, hiking, arts, and cultural opportunities. Each site is unique and provides different experiences for visitors.
