Discover The Architectural Brilliance Of Frank Lloyd Wright At The Historic Kentuck Knob
Kentuck Knob is a beautiful Frank Lloyd Wright home located in the Laurel Highlands. Just a short drive from Fallingwater, it showcases Wright's Usonian style with stunning mountain views. Built in 1956 for I.N. and Bernardine Hagan, the home remained with the family for nearly thirty years. Later it became the retreat of Lord Peter Palumbo, who opened it to the public in 1996. Visitors can enjoy a 45-minute guided walking tour of both the interior and exterior.
The home is surrounded by scenic woods and gardens, making it perfect for photography and nature walks.

Guests can learn about the unique features of the home, including the custom furniture and artwork integrated into the structure. The tour also emphasizes sustainable design elements that were innovative for the 1950s.
Visitors often find inspiration in the seamless blending of indoor and outdoor spaces. The home provides an educational and cultural experience that highlights the genius of one of America's most famous architects. By walking through the rooms, guests gain a deeper understanding of how Wright utilized light, space, and local materials to create a living environment that feels both modern and timeless. The guided tour ensures that every visitor leaves with a comprehensive knowledge of the house's history.
Whether you are an architecture enthusiast or simply looking for a peaceful retreat, Kentuck Knob offers a unique experience in the heart of Pennsylvania.

Customer Reviews
Highly recommend booking a full tour in advance, it’s totally worth the extra cost! We went in October to celebrate our anniversary and although it was our third tour, there’s always something new to see and experience. The love the guides have for this home and its people carries over in their enthusiasm and details they bring out and their knowledge of its history and information surrounding Mr Wright. Always a pleasure to visit and beautiful in every season. Make it a point to dress for the weather so you don’t miss out on walking the grounds and taking in the sculpture gardens as well! Lord Palumbo has quite an eclectic collection and it’s a fun walk back from the house.
Seeing Kentuck Knob was great. Like the other Frank Lloyd Wright designs I have visited, it was a delight. Learning about the Hagans (the original owners) and then Peter Palumbo (the current owner) and their motivations for owning a Wright home was a bonus. The surrounding landscape--the hills and sculptures and the farther vistas across the Laurel Highlands--was equally enjoyable. The only disappointment was not being able to photograph the interiors of Kentuck Knob, hence my 4/5 stars rating.
Guide was excellent. Enjoyed it very much. Amazing that this was designed sight unseen and Wright was 86!! Wright's Kentuck knob was better inside and his Falling Waters was better outside. But need to see both to know. No pictures allowed inside Kentuck Knob.
