Sponsored By: The Frank Lloyd Wright House in Ebsworth Park
Join us for our annual fund-raiser celebrating the birthday of Frank Lloyd Wright. This year, the benefit will be held at Greystone, the Gothic Revival cottage of the Piper family. Come to enjoy a picnic and music by the St. Louis Ragtimers while taking in the spectacular view from the bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. The fund-raiser supports educational programs, projects and maintenance of the house at Ebsworth Park. Proceeds from the benefit in 2007 went towards the completion of a new road and visitor parking area in Ebsworth Park, where visitors come to see the Kraus House designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.
