New Tourism and Education Center will be coming soon!

The Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian designed Tourism and Education Center will be coming soon. The land is starting to be cleared. This center will be built according to Wright's plans, even including his signature concrete blocks. It should be about 1500 square feet and include a gift shop and book store and space for conferences and exhibitions. There will be a a tourism kiosk with information on other Polk County attractions and docent-led audio and self-guided tours  The interior will have Wright designed built-in furnishings. The center will be constructed using plans for a Usonian house (Usonian is an acronym for United States of North America) that Mr. Wright created as part of the campus master plan but which was never built. Mr. Wright designed 18 structures for the campus, 12 of which were built between 1939 and 1958.
