Fallingwater and Monticello

 A few weeks ago, the first year class and several iarc department professors and grad students took a field trip to Monticello and Fallingwater over a 36 hour time span. It was a whirlwind trip consisting of long hours in the bus, but was well worth the travel time to see these two monumental places. We started with Monticello on Sunday and saw Fallingwater on Monday (and were back home from PA that night!). Below is a small collection of photos from the trip.
