Cedar Rock State Park (Lowell Walter Residence)

Cedar Rock State Park is the home to the Frank Lloyd Wright designed Lowell and Agnes Walter Estate. The property is a complete and beautiful example of Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian design meaning that Wright is as much the interior designer as he was the architect. Those that tour the home experience it almost as if the homeowners stepped out in 1950. The estate is comprised of four Wright designed structures which include the house, council fire, river pavilion, and formal entrance gate. Seasonal guided tours of the property depart the visitor center hourly from 10:00 am-3:00 pm Thursday to Sunday's from late May to mid-October.

Beautiful setting, open air tractor ride through prairie to the house with a bonus boathouse, the most livable Wright house we've toured. The living room was stunning, designed for entertaining. The tour guide was knowledgeable and personable, performing a piece he composed on the custom Steinway piano.
