The Trust’s Education Department offers both on-site and virtual tours, during which students experience Wright’s designs firsthand and are encouraged to ask questions and share their observations.

Each tour can be tailored to classroom themes and partners with activities and lessons from teachingbydesign.org.

Tours are intended for smaller groups and are available at the Frederick C. Robie House, the Home and Studio and its surrounding historic neighborhood, and the exterior of Unity Temple.

Chaperones are FREE with a limit of 1 chaperone per 10 students unless otherwise arranged.

Larger groups and those interested in the standard interpretive tour can contact Group Tours at 312.994.4041 or tours@flwright.org.
