The Trust’s Education Department offers both on-site and virtual tours, during which students experience Wright’s designs firsthand and are encouraged to ask questions and share their observations.

Each tour can be tailored to classroom themes and partnered with activities and lessons from teachingbydesign.org.

At this time, tours are intended for groups of 30 students (grades K-12) or fewer and are available at the Frederick C. Robie House, the Home and Studio and its surrounding historic neighborhood. Please check our booking form for our monthly availability. Please note, field trips are booked on a first-come first-served basis.

Chaperones are FREE with a limit of 1 chaperone per 15 students unless otherwise arranged.

Larger groups and those interested in the standard interpretive tour can contact Group Tours at 312.994.4041 or tours@flwright.org.
