  • Wright in Wisconsin
    Wright in Wisconsin Walk in Frank Lloyd Wright's footsteps to discover the architect's inspiration for design and the foundation of a true legacy. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Wright rooted many of his design principals in the landscape of his surroundings. Join the Martin House travel team as we discover Wright's home state and many of his designs including: Taliesin, Wright's famed home, studio and school for many years; the Jacobs House, the S.C. Johnson building, Annunciation Church, the Unitarian Meeting House, and more! Participants will enjoy guided tours, a taste of local cuisine and motor coach transportation through Wisconsin's beautiful landscape. Please see below for more detailed information on the places we will be visiting in Wisconsin. The Fred B. Jones House | Penwern (1900-03) Lake Delavan, Wisconsin Designed as a summer home for Oak Park businessman Fred B. Jones, this estate consists of four structures: a main house, boathouse, gate lodge and stable, which were built on a 10-acre site with 600 feet of lakefront and a commanding view of Delavan Lake. Penwern is privately owned and open to the public only for special Frank Lloyd Wright-related events. The Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church (1956-61) Wauwatosa, Wisconsin Located in a suburb of Milwaukee, this church was one of Frank Lloyd Wright's last major commissions; construction was completed after the architect’s death. The basic design of the church is inspired by the architect’s reinterpretation of two traditional Byzantine forms: the Greek cross and the dome. American System-Built Homes (1915-17) Milwaukee, Wisconsin Throughout his career, Frank Lloyd Wright took special interest in designing beautiful yet affordable homes for moderate-to- low-income families.

Frank Lloyd Wright was a brilliant architect and a problematic personality. Controversy, scandal, and even murder swirled through his life. He designed buildings that have become World Heritage Sites, created new architectural styles, and integrated his structures with the surrounding landscape. He also undercut his first employer; made impossible demands on builders; left his wife for a married woman; and suffered the loss of his wife, friends, and home in an arson-murder.

  • Monona Terrace 2016 Annual Report Monona Terrace Executive Director, Gregg Mcmanners
    MONONA TERRACE 2016 ANNUAL REPORT MONONA TERRACE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, GREGG MCMANNERS For Monona Terrace Community and Convention Center, 2016 was a year that set a new standard for event revenue, community events and tourism opportunities. As Monona Terrace nears its 20th birthday in July, this strong performance reaffirms our belief that if given the proper support this community asset can consistently produce significant economic, cultural and social benefits for the community. From a business perspective we hosted 7 international, 28 national and 13 regional conventions. Our convention and conference business alone resulted in an estimated 48 million dollar impact on Madison’s economy over the course of the year. In all, we hosted 680 events, which resulted in more than 15,000,000 square feet of space rented and over 500,000 people served at catered functions. Community Events staff introduced exciting new programs including Madison Mini Maker Faire and in partnership with WI Public Television, premieres of Hamilton’s America and Wisconsin Winter from the Air. Programs and concerts drew almost 50,000 local residents despite an uncooperative weather pattern at times for the outdoor concerts. More and more Madison area residents are being drawn to Monona Terrace by our variety of public offerings. Our tourism promotion efforts got a boost with the addition of the Frank Lloyd Wright Trail, introduced by the Wisconsin Department of Tourism in 2016. Monona Terrace is a site to visit on the trail along with other famous Wright buildings in Wisconsin. Visitors from all over the world continue to tour Monona Terrace to learn more about Wright and his principles of architecture.
