Fallingwater is the most loved and best-known creation of the visionary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. Designed by Wright in 1935, the house was to be a weekend home for a prominent business family from Pittsburgh, forty miles to the south. The outstanding feature of the house is its cohesion with the natural landscape of the Allegheny Mountains and the Bear Run River; a waterfall is incorporated into the house design, and the clean lines and wooden exterior walls render it almost invisible in its surroundings.

The house was used as a private home until 1963, when the owner turned it over to the Pennsylvania Conservation Authority, who turned the house into a museum. The house and grounds may be toured all year round with a guide.
