Fallingwater Offers Free Admission to Fayette County Residents March 22

Fallingwater, nominee to UNESCO’s prestigious World Heritage list, will offer free admission to Fayette County residents during its Fayette County Appreciation Day on Sunday, March 22.

Due to the overwhelming success of Fallingwater’s annual Fayette County Days in November, Fallingwater has added a new Fayette County Appreciation Day this month. Last year, nearly 1,000 friends and neighbors visited Fallingwater during its Fayette County Appreciation Days. In addition to a free tour of the house that day, visitors are invited to explore the nearly 5,100-acre Bear Run Nature Reserve, purchase lunch at the Café, shop at the museum store and learn about volunteer opportunities.

Advance reservations for tours are essential to guarantee admittance. Tours are available from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Please call 724-329-8501 for information and reservations.

Fayette County residents played an important role in Fallingwater’s history and remain involved in its ongoing preservation and stewardship. Residents of Fayette County helped to build the iconic home and numerous area residents now serve as staff or volunteers at the world-renowned house museum.
