VIRTUAL FIELD TRIP
After tragedy befell his home and loved ones, American architect Frank Lloyd Wright spent the next eight years building an expansive hotel for the Emperor of Japan. Through hundreds of historic photos and eyewitness accounts, Master Storyteller Timothy Totten recounts the origins of the project, reveals the extensive design work that detailed the enormous hotel, as well as the many dangers – including massive earthquakes, world war, and the wrecking ball – that threatened to erase the masterpiece from history.
Includes entertainment and wine with four course dinner. Cash bar available.
