Evening Tours of the Dana-Thomas House - April 7 through April 28

Evening Tours of the Dana-Thomas House - April 7 through April 28

In the heart of our country, progressive-minded heiress Susan Lawrence Dana hired architect Frank Lloyd Wright to design her a home in which she could advance ideas about education and democracy.

The environment they created is one of the best-preserved examples of Wright’s “organic architecture,” containing more than 100 pieces of custom furniture and over 250 works of original art glass.

We invite you to see and experience the Dana-Thomas House by taking a guided tour of the site. The site is currently available by guided tour only; each guided tour lasts approximately one hour. Two evening tours will be provided, one at 5:30 and one at 6:30.
