Newspaper editors and publishers are encouraged to bring their families, as a number of programs are planned for children. A Sand County Almanac, an environmental classic, will involve many of the children one evening. Wright, America s premier architect, lived and worked at Taliesin from 1911 until his death in 1959. Over that period, it grew from an intimate country refuge to a 600-acre estate encompassing the Taliesin Residence, the Romeo and Juliet Windmill, and the Midway Farm. The 1,133-seat theatre sits in a natural amphitheater on 110 acres of woods and meadow just off the Wisconsin River.
