All Day Go Explore: Frank Lloyd Wright’s Oak Park

If you’re a fan of Frank Lloyd Wright, you won’t want to miss out on Osher’s All-Day Go Explore to Oak Park. The day kicks off with a visit to Unity Temple, a Unitarian Universalist church crafted by Wright himself between 1905 and 1908. Recognized as one of his most pivotal works, it stands out as one of the rare prairie style churches in the United Statees. Following this, indulge in a delicious Italian lunch at Il Vicolo Trattoria. After lunch, enjoy a guided tour of the Frank Lloyd Wright Home and Studio. This historic family residence and design studio, originally designed for his wife and children, was constructed in 1889 and expanded over time; it boasts original Wright-designed furniture and textiles. Once the tour concludes, stroll through the neighborhood on a self-guided walking tour, where you can admire up to 25 buildings in Oak Park either designed or remodeled by Wright himself.
