Wright on the Farm—Muirhead Farmhouse and Fabyan Villa
May 20, 2019 |
Tour Fabyan Villa, Colonel George and Nelle Fabyan’s retreat turned permanent residence. Wright’s 1907 comprehensive remodeling of the original home created a focal point for the family’s expansive riverbank complex. Afterwards stroll through the estate’s c. 1910 Japanese Garden, designed by famed landscape architect, Taro Otsuka.
After lunch in charming downtown Geneva, continue on to the faithfully restored Muirhead Farmhouse. Tour Wright’s Usonian solution for a working farm and a growing family. An award-winning restoration won the site a spot on the National Register of Historic Places.
Excursion includes light snacks, lunch and transportation.
