Lincoln

Our surprise dinner speaker upon our arrival in Gettysburg was none other than the 16th president himself, telling tales of his early years and his lessons in politics.  As a special treat he repeated his Gettysburg Address for us…  It was quite something hearing it from the man himself!

We had plenty more history of the Civil War as we visited the new Gettysburg Visitor Center and saw the fully restored 1883 “Cyclorama” — a 42-foot tall by 365 foot oil painting depicting “Pickett’s Charge“, the climactic Confederate attack on the Union forces during the Battle of Gettysburg on July 3, 1863.  In their day, Cycloramas were the fabulous immersive entertainment…  Then came movies!

Fallingwater

Following Gettysburg, we drove to Mill Run, Pennsylvania to visit Fallingwater, the most famous of the many homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright.  The house was built for the Kaufmann department store family and was later given in trust to be enjoyed and preserved.

The architect designed everything to draw your body and your attention OUTDOORS…  He built the house cantilevered from a hillside over a waterfall.  He built the fireplace around an existing rock, making the rock the indoor hearth. He even made the bedrooms and corridors tiny so you would be compelled to get out and commune with other people or nature.

No inside photography is allowed for the “basic tours”…  If you want to take pictures, and have a private tour plus your lunch on the family balcony, the cost is $1000 for four people!  Something has to pay for the upkeep!  Pictures of the Fallingwater interior can be found on the Internet with a simple Google search here.

Atop Pittsburgh

We finished the day with a marvelous dinner at Le Mont Restaurant overlooking the city of Pittsburgh and the three rivers as they converge.  The sunset was beautiful, and the company was excellent!
