A Trip to Cranbrook
and Kalamazoo

May 13 - 15, 2005





This spring, the William Morris Society of Canada will journey to Arts & Crafts sites in Michigan.

Our first stop is Cranbrook in Bloomfield Hills, to see Cranbrook House (the early twentieth-century Arts & Crafts home of Canadian George Gough Booth and his wife Ellen Scripps Booth), Saarinen House (home of the architect Elliel Saarinen), and sculpture gardens with their May flowers. The next day we travel on to Kalamazoo to tour - through special arrangement - four or five privately owned Frank Lloyd Wright homes in Parkwyn Village. On the final day, we visit three more Wright houses at the Galesburg development. Then. on the way back to Toronto, we plan to stop at the Motawi tile works in Ann Arbor.

Prices, a registration form and more details are available to WMSC members through the most recent bulletin which they will have received in the mail.

This trip is expected to fill up extremely quickly, so please get your registration form in asap!
