Outdoor tours at Fallingwater will begin for the season soon, but those wanting to see inside the famous Fayette County home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright will have to keep waiting because of the coronavirus pandemic.
The 58th tour season begins Saturday.
Tickets are limited because of social distancing precautions.
Tours of the home’s exterior and grounds will be available. The Speyer Art Gallery, Fallingwater Museum Store and the facility’s cafe will be open, but the interior of the house itself will be closed to the public, according to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy, which operates Fallingwater.

Fallingwater is offering Winter Walk tours that allow people to explore the exterior beauty of the landmark during the height of the snowy season. Fallingwater’s stunning architectural design was inspired by the landscape where it was built. This Laurel Highlands UNESCO World Heritage Site, approximately 90 minutes from Pittsburgh, is surrounded by 5,100 acres of conservatory land known as the Bear Run Nature Reserve.
“Exploring Fallingwater during this time of year, with limited people on site and often a dusting of frost or snow on the ground, allows one the opportunity for intimate interactions with the architecture and this beautiful mountain landscape,” said director and Western Pennsylvania Conservancy Vice President Justin Gunther in a release.
