Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob Tour

Falling House
Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob Tour, October 18, 2018

Reservations and payments are due by September 26, 2018.

On Thursday, October 18, 2018, members of the Association will travel by chartered bus to Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob, two homes in the Pennsylvania Laurel Highlands designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Both homes are National Historic Landmarks.

Our first stop at 8:45 a.m. will be Kentuck Knob, one of the last homes completed by Wright. The house offers a “breathtaking panorama of the Youghiogheny River Gorge.”

Since our meal will be after the Fallingwater tour, you might want to bring a snack to eat on the bus while we travel to Fallingwater.

At approximately 12:00 p.m., we'll begin our tour of Fallingwater.  Fallingwater has been called one of the greatest architectural triumphs of the 20th century and is perhaps the best-known house that Frank Lloyd Wright ever designed.

After the Fallingwater tour, we'll stop at Ohiopyle to enjoy the scenery and a boxed lunch from Panera Bread.

On you reservation form, you will choose your boxed lunch.  Choices are:

  • Turkey Sandwich Boxed Lunch: Oven-roasted turkey breast, lettuce,  tomato, red onion, mayo, spicy mustard, salt and pepper on whole grain served with chips, pickle and a cookie.
  • Ham & Swiss Sandwich Boxed Lunch: Smoked, lean ham, Swiss, lettuce, tomato, red onion, mayo, spicy mustard, salt and pepper on whole grain served with chips, pickle and a cookie.
  • Seasonal Greens Boxed Lunch: Arugula, romaine, kale and radicchio blend, tomato, red onion, cucumber tossed with reduced-fat balsamic vinaigrette served with French baguette and a cookie.  

We will leave the Mountaineer Mall at 7:30 a.m. and should return to Morgantown around 5:00 p.m.

The cost of the trip is $78.00 per person. The price includes transportation, a 15% saving on admission fees to both Fallingwater and Kentuck Knob, and the boxed lunch.

Refund Policy:  Reservations for this trip are due by September 26, 2018.  On that day, we will make our commitment to Budget Charters.  As a result, we will not be able to make any refunds after that date. 

To join us on the trip, you will need to reserve your seat(s) on the bus and then make your payment. It’s a two-step process.
