The Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center provides a home for the permanent display of photographs, furniture, and drawings depicting Wright’s relationship with the College. The Center also acts as a home for visiting exhibits on loan from various other Wright sites.

In 2012, the Florida Southern College Historic District was designated a National Historic Landmark by the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior for being the largest single-site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture in the world.

The Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center relies on the kindness of wonderful volunteers from our community to lead tours. Our docents have a love for customer experience and a passion for Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. If you are interested in serving as a docent please send us your résumé.
