Sites on the

Frank Lloyd Wright Trail

Born in Richland Center, Wright is widely considered the greatest American architect of all time. Wisconsin is home to over 40 of his built works, and the Frank Lloyd Wright Trail includes nine public sites along a designated 200-mile route through southern Wisconsin. All nine sites on the trail are available for the public to visit and tour.
