Local area

Located 5 miles off the historic National Road (Route 40) on Skyline Dr, Laurel Caverns is a 435-acre geological park featuring Pennsylvania's largest cave, which contains over 3 miles of passages under Chestnut Ridge. A variety of activities caters to the traveling public, school education programs, scout merit badge programs, summer camp programs and high adventure seekers.

Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright in the last decade of his career, Kentuck Knob is nestled high in the western Pennsylvania mountains seven miles south of Fallingwater and six miles from the historic National Road. The homes construction of native sandstone, tidewater cypress, and copper blends naturally with its surroundings in true Wrightian harmony. A sculpture garden with over 35 major works enhances the visitors experience, and a former greenhouse now serves as the visitor center.

Recognized as one of Wrights most acclaimed works, Fallingwater was voted "the best all-time work of American architecture" in a 1991 poll of the American Institute of Architects. As a supreme example of Wrights concept of organic architecture, Fallingwater illustrates the harmony between man and nature that occurs when building, furnishings, and site are fully integrated.
