On a crisp fall day in 1963, Edgar Kaufmann jr. entrusted Fallingwater to the Western Pennsylvania Conservancy. Since that day, our mission has been clear: to care for this architectural masterpiece and share it with the world as a place of beauty, a unique educational resource and a powerful source of inspiration.
We couldn’t do it without the support of people like you! Fallingwater is part of a private, nonprofit organization, and the revenue from admissions, museum store sales and café purchases cover only day-to-day operational costs.

Your gift today will help empower our vigilant care for the house and provide resources needed to keep Fallingwater an exceptional place to learn and explore.
As we count down to Fallingwater’s 90th anniversary next year, we are coming to the end of the most comprehensive preservation initiative since the early 2000s, and one that was needed to protect the integrity of Frank Lloyd Wright’s iconic design.
Support from individuals like you also helps make it possible to offer compelling educational enrichment to elementary, high school and college-aged students. Additionally, you will help support the workshops, residencies, internships and other intensive educational opportunities provided to people of all ages through the Fallingwater Institute.
Edgar Kaufmann, jr. knew the value of Fallingwater. For him, enjoying what Frank Lloyd Wright achieved in the unspoiled setting of Bear Run was a privilege he wanted to share with the larger world. He knew that enjoying the benefits of Fallingwater – “these luxuries of body and spirit” – carried with it an enormous responsibility of stewarding and sharing this masterpiece.
Join us in our efforts to care for and share Fallingwater with the world for generations to come.
