Taliesin is the country home, studio and architectural school that Frank Lloyd Wright built on land that had belonged to his mother's Welsh-immigrant family — the Lloyd Joneses — since the 1850s. The 600-acre estate includes the main house, the Hillside school buildings, the Romeo and Juliet windmill, and Tan-y-Deri, a house Wright designed for his sister. Together they form the densest concentration of Wright's own architecture anywhere.
Several tour options run from May through October out of the visitor centre on Highway 23: a two-hour house tour, a four-hour estate tour covering all the buildings, and shorter walks of the Hillside grounds. Book ahead, especially for the longer estate tour. The estate is a National Historic Landmark and a UNESCO World Heritage Site (as part of the inscription covering eight Wright buildings).
