If you're a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, you'll go nuts here

This gem was a true find while looking for sites to see in Springfield. Set aside a couple of hours and check it out. The tours were fantastic! Parking is free and nearby (across the railroad tracks).

Not very accessible. You'll be able to see some of it.

I will be in the area and would like to tour this house. I will be there on a Tuesday in November. I read that it is sometimes closed on Monday's and Tuesdays. Does anyone know if this is true?

The site is open year round Weds.-Sun. and seasonally Mon. & Tues. The website doesn't say when the seasonal ends. The best thing to do is call 1 217 782-6776. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
