Fallingwater is a renowned house museum located in the heart of Pennsylvania's Laurel Highlands. Designed by the legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, Fallingwater is an iconic example of organic architecture that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings.

Built in 1935 as a weekend retreat for the Kaufmann family, Fallingwater was designed to complement the natural beauty of the site, rather than imposing upon it. The house appears to be growing out of the landscape itself, with cantilevered decks and overhanging roofs creating a sense of weightlessness.

Wright's innovative use of materials and space creates an immersive experience for visitors. The interior features large windows, exposed stone walls, and built-in furniture that enhance the connection between indoors and outdoors.

As one of Wright's most celebrated works, Fallingwater has been recognized as a National Historic Landmark since 1966 and is now owned by the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. Visitors can explore the house and its grounds through guided tours, taking in the stunning views of Bear Run Stream and the surrounding forest.
