In the early 20th century, Frank Lloyd Wright left his mark on the “Queen City” with several of his iconic designs. Explore Buffalo and Western New York, immersing yourself in his restored architecture. Experience incredible gardens and examples of Wright’s early Prairie style designs, including the Martin House and the Graycliff estate. To top it off, enjoy the Hagen History Center in Erie, Pennsylvania — home of Frank Lloyd Wright’s San Francisco office.
