The Wright Destination
Start your visit at the Visitors Center,
located within walking distance of major
architectural and historical attractions,
numerous restaurants and specialty shops.
Then take a tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright
Home & Studio, which served as the world-
renowned architect’s residence and studio
from 1889 to 1909. A guided walking tour of
the Frank Lloyd Wright Historic District allows
you to discover “an outdoor museum of
architectural history.” Also be sure to stroll to
Frank Lloyd Wright’s Unity Temple, Wright’s
first public commission and only surviving
public building from his Prairie period. Also
visit the Ernest Hemingway Birthplace
Home and Museum to find displays featuring
rare photos, early writings and memorabilia
from this Nobel Prize-winning author’s life.
And be sure to stop at the 30-room Pleasant
Home, designed by architect George W.
Maher in 1897, where visitors will find the
Edgar Rice Burroughs Tarzan Museum.
Explore Oak Park, less than ten miles from
downtown Chicago.
