2023 Member Appreciation Event

MEMBER-ONLY EVENT

The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation is honored to host the members of the Madison Trust for Historic Preservation for a behind the scenes look at the recent preservation of the historic Hillside Theatre at Frank Lloyd Wright’s home, Taliesin.

The Hillside Theatre is a part of a larger complex on the Taliesin property that was the center of life for Wright’s Fellowship. The drafting studio, dining room, kitchen, assembly hall, and theatre make up the Hillside complex, which was originally the Hillside Home School – a progressive education center run by Wright’s aunts. Hillside, like every building at Taliesin, is nestled into a rolling hill, surrounded by the beautiful natural and agricultural landscapes that inspired Wright’s works.

The event will include a tour of the Hillside complex, focusing specifically on ongoing theatre project, led by members of the preservation team and a reception with light refreshments. We look forward to sharing our passion for preservation with a group who does so much to advocate for preservation in Madison and the surrounding areas.

Registration opens September 1.
