点评:We had seen another Frank Lloyd Wright home (the one in Springfield, IL) and was going to skip this tour, especially with the $15/adult fee. However, we had some extra time to fill, so we decided to take the tour. We are glad we did. I especially liked that the Guide talked about how the lines/angles were in the Prairie School style and worked together and was throughout the house. What seemed simplistic at first, was actually more complex.
You are encouraged to reserve your spot online since they only allow 8 people to go on the tour at a time. There are limited tours, so being there when one is offered can be difficult. Still, we were the only ones on our tour. It was quite easy to reserve online and I did not have to pay until we showed up. You start the tour across from the house in the Architectural Interpretive Center. (a parking lot is in between the two) I would encourage you to arrive several minutes early (or plan to stay longer) to look around. The tour includes only a few highlights of the museum and a film about Wright and the Stockmans before walking over to the house for the tour.
Be sure to leave time to walk to the nearby Willow Creek Waterfall. It's pretty small, but still pretty to see.
翻译:我们之前已经看过另一处弗兰克·劳埃德·赖特故居(位于伊利诺伊州斯普林菲尔德),本来打算跳过这次参观,尤其是成人票价 15 美元。但是,我们还有一些空闲时间,所以我们决定参加。我们很高兴参加了这次参观。我特别喜欢导游讲解草原学派风格的线条/角度如何协调贯穿整个房屋。乍一看很简单,但实际上要复杂得多。建议您在线预订,因为他们每次只允许 8 人参加。参观名额有限,所以在有安排的时候去可能会很困难。尽管如此,我们还是参加了这次参观。在线预订非常容易,而且我到场后才付款。您可以从房子对面的建筑解说中心开始参观。(两者之间有一个停车场)我建议您提前几分钟到达(或计划停留更长时间)以便四处看看。这次旅行只包含参观博物馆的几个亮点,以及观看一部关于赖特和斯托克曼一家的电影,之后步行前往故居参观。
一定要留出时间步行到附近的柳溪瀑布。它很小,但仍然很美。
