I am planning a visit in less than two weeks and would like to become a member. What should I do?
It is best to become a member of the Trust before your visit. You may not receive your membership card in the mail, however, you are immediately eligible for all your member benefits. You may join on our website or by calling the Membership Department. Once you are a member, you may make advance reservations for complimentary tours by calling our Ticket Sales Line at 312.994.4000 x1. The Guest Services Line is available for member reservations Monday – Friday, from 10 am to 3 pm CT.
Members may visit a museum site without a reservation the day they wish to tour, however, members are not guaranteed tour tickets, as tours may be sold out. If tickets are available, you will be placed on the next available tour. Advance reservations are recommended.
Do I receive reciprocal admission or benefits at other museums and historic sites?
Yes, all Trust members receive benefits of the Time Travelers Historical Museum Reciprocal Membership Program, which offers free or discounted admission to more than 250 history and house museums. Trust members at the Prairie level and above receive free or discounted admission to Wright-designed sites across the U.S. including Fallingwater, Taliesin West, and the Guggenheim Museum through the Frank Lloyd Wright National Reciprocal Sites Program.
Can I visit other Frank Lloyd Wright sites with my membership? Which sites can I visit?

Can I upgrade my membership and receive free tours at other Wright-designed sites?
Yes, at any point in your membership you may upgrade to a higher level to receive more benefits.

Why does the Trust need my email address?
Most of our event invitations and notices are sent via email to save printing and postage expenses as well as reduce the consumption of paper products. Please be sure to sign up with your email address and update it when necessary. Thank you!
What is the Membership Auto-renewal Program?
You may select the option to have your membership renew automatically on an annual basis. The membership will be renewed on or around the last day of the month of your last membership transaction at the same membership level. Your credit card will be charged with an amount equal to the then-current price of the membership. Please note that this price may increase from year to year and will not include any discounts used to purchase the original membership.

This option of renewal is sincerely appreciated. It makes the best use of your dues, allowing more funds to be directed to restoration, preservation, and educational programs.
You may cancel or alter your participation in the auto-renewal program at any time by contacting the Membership Department at 312.994.4013.
