Spring Green: Taliesin, Market, and River Landscape

Spring Green combines a distinctive river landscape with culture, a year-round market, and nearby nature and day-trip destinations. Taliesin and the Farmers Market are in town; the American Players Theatre is just outside. Activities on the Wisconsin River and other destinations offer a glimpse of the surrounding area.

Culture and Theater

Taliesin is Frank Lloyd Wright’s home, studio, and school in Spring Green. These three functions bring living, working, and teaching together in one place. If you’re interested in Wright, this combination offers a concrete cultural connection to Spring Green.

The American Players Theatre (APT) is a professional theater just outside Spring Green. It has an outdoor amphitheater with 1,075 seats and the covered Touchstone Theatre with 201 seats—two venues with significantly different capacities. Facilities and capacities may change. If you’re planning to attend a performance, check the latest information in advance.

Market and Annual Event

The Spring Green Farmers Market takes place every Saturday year-round in the parking lot of the Community Library in Spring Green. It offers locally grown products from area farmers, food producers, and artists. Its weekly schedule makes the market a recurring point of reference for travel planning.

The Spring Green Arts and Crafts Fair takes place every year on the last full weekend in June in downtown Spring Green. This sets it apart from the year-round Saturday market: the fair is concentrated into one weekend each year. If you’d like to plan your trip around this event, check the specific dates in advance.

Parks in the Town and Village

When it comes to municipal parks, it helps to distinguish between the Town and the Village. The Town of Spring Green owns and manages Lauden Park on Long Lake; the park is part of its park system. It has a shelter, picnic tables, and a boat launch. These amenities combine opportunities to take a break with access to the lake.

In the Village of Spring Green, Veterans Memorial Park, formerly called North Park, is home to the Spring Green Community Pool. The distinction between the municipalities clearly differentiates this park from Lauden Park on Long Lake. It also helps you associate the amenities mentioned with the correct park names.

River Landscape and Surrounding Area

The Village of Spring Green lies in a broad bend of the Wisconsin River between tall, green bluffs. In the surrounding area, you can spot wildflowers and rare birds at Spring Green Preserve. The river landscape and wildlife observation offer different focal points for planning your trip.

In the surrounding area of Spring Green, you can float down the Wisconsin River on an inner tube, kayak, or canoe. This is a different way to experience the river landscape than observing wildflowers and birds at the preserve. Conditions and operators may vary; check the details that apply to your visit in advance. You can also explore House on the Rock in the surrounding area.
