What our visitors saying about their experience
-
“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 -
My family and I enjoyed the tour! Our tour guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and full of historical facts about the house.
Hannah Hunter -

Our class had a great experience touring the home and grounds. We can’t thank you enough for the educational information about Frank Lloyd Wright and the history of some of his amazing architecture.
