In our latest We Love PA History! Podcast, Fallingwater Director Justin Gunther talks about our upcoming visit to Fallingwater and what you'll see while you are there.

In his own words, "I think fall is the most beautiful time to be at Fallingwater. The house just reacts so beautifully to the to the fall color palette."

In addition to the house, the visitor center exhibition features 8mm film footage from the original construction of the house, and also of the Bear Run camp, and you'll see the Kaufmann family in the flesh on film in home movies.

Edgar Kaufmann Jr. "understood the importance of this place and also the importance of it for preservation of the modern movement. And by putting a place like this in the public domain, people could understand the importance of Frank Lloyd Wright, the importance of ideas of respecting landscape when we build, uh, and also just deepening people's connection to nature through art and design."

Learn more about Fallingwater on the We Love PA History! Podcast with Justin and then register for the bus trip. On-line registration closes October 16!

As you drive around, sometimes having a camera right by your side can share the changes taking place with those who would also like to see what you have! ;-)
