Driving Directions
Wednesday Night Reception
Tour through an exclusive conference center in Racine County that Frank Lloyd Wright had designed and built. Public access to the home is very limited throughout the year, but the Racine County CVB has arranged a special tour for MPI at no cost.
"In 1936 Herbert Fisk Johnson, grandson of the founder of SC Johnson & Son, Inc., hired Frank Lloyd Wright to design a new administration building for his company in Racine, Wisconsin. Soon after, he commissioned Wright to build him a home on nearby farmland.
That 14,000 square-foot home, built in 1938-39, is Wingspread. In 1959, Johnson and his wife moved into an adjacent residence and donated Wingspread to The Johnson Foundation to be used as an international educational conference facility.
Wingspread nestles amid 36 acres on Wind Point, a peninsula on the western shore of Lake Michigan. The lake and lighthouse is a short walk from Wingspread." To learn more: http://www.johnsonfdn.org/tour.html
Also, the Racine County CVB is hosting a reception at the Racine Art Museum in Downtown Racine http://www.ramart.org/. You will be pleasantly surprised at the revitalization and growth the downtown has endured. The Racine Art Museum is one of the top three contemporary craft collections in the U.S. Complimentary wine/beer/soda and hors d'oeuvres will be served. |
