The Frank Lloyd Wright Visitor Center is closed until further notice.
We are closely monitoring updates about coronavirus in our state and county, and prioritizing the safety of our community, employees, and students.
The Sharp Family Tourism and Education Center and GEICO Gift Shop was opened as part of an ongoing effort to better educate visitors to the Frank Lloyd Wright architecture at Florida Southern College.
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.
Thousands of people a year come to visit the largest single site collection of Frank Lloyd Wright architecture. You should too!
Now you can get all your Frank Lloyd Wright gear you want and need from the comfort of your own home.
