Welsh Hills Trail Grand Opening

press release: Join Taliesin Preservation at 10 a.m. as we celebrate this recreational addition to the Taliesin estate grounds and highlight the partnerships with The Ice Age Trail Alliance, Friends of the Spring Green River Trail, Driftless Area Land Conservancy and REI plus the many volunteers that worked tirelessly to complete this project.

The Welsh Hills Trail traverses about a mile of the lower slopes of the Welsh Hills affording hikers a unique perspective of the Taliesin estate and the ongoing ecological restoration of the landscape. It is a relatively flat trail making it a friendly hike for most people. The marked trail connects the Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center with Unity Chapel. Hikers can return on the same trail or take the paved recreational trail along Highway 23 back to the Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center. The trail is now open year-round and free of charge.

"We are excited to provide an entirely new Taliesin experience for our visitors. We have been working long and hard to create opportunities like this so that people can interact with the landscape that inspired Frank Lloyd Wright and those that followed him.” ~Carrie Rodamaker, executive director of Taliesin Preservation.
