What Visitors Are Saying
“I had not visited the Dana Thomas House until recently, despite being born and raised in Springfield. During the tour the significance of the place struck me. Having a Frank Lloyd Wright home in Springfield, particularly one that is so close to his vision of what a home could be, is like having a Michelangelo in our city.”
Joe Ciaccio, Art Professor., Local Artist, SAA instructor
