This trip was interesting for people with a variety of architectural knowledge and included a wide range of FLW buildings. Mark Hertzberg's local Wisconsin expertise was especially welcome. Our group leader's ability to adapt on the fly was impressive. I have already recommended this trip to others.

Mary – Class of 2017 | Russell Springs, KY
I have always been interested in Frank Lloyd Wright. After visiting his Falling Waters home I wanted to see more of his homes and buildings. I have gone on a number of Road Scholar adventures, and when I saw this opportunity I immediately wanted to include this tour. I am glad I did and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. They covered so many of his buildings that on my own I would not have been able to do.

This is an outstanding, well-organized program that covers a breadth of Wright sites - different types of residential buildings, three houses of worship, an office space. It was the first of what I hope will be many RoadScholar trips.

If you want to be fully immersed in Frank Lloyd Wright architectural design, signup for this program. We had a very active and thoroughly enjoyable schedule viewing a variety of Wright designed buildings including houses, churches, a research lab building, civic center, and school house. Days are very full with time spent seeing and learning. I've already recommended this program to friends since I returned home.

Getting to know the person and genius of Frank Lloyd Wright is the goal of this program. I believe this objective was met. If you are a devotee of FLW or would just like to experience his work at a deeper level, then this program is for you.

Barrett – Class of 2017 | Richmond, VA
This was a fine trip and a good value for the money with the following reservations: 1. The bus used in Chicago broke down twice. 2. The visit to Monona Terrace was too long by half. 3. The use of electronic whispers was useful outside in urban settings but was otherwise an irritant and a time-waster. 4. The hotel in Madison was of poor quality: noisy, with trash on the stairs. The last dinner in Madison was also of poor quality.
