The Fabyan Villa & Japanese Garden tell the fascinating story of Colonel George and Nelle Fabyan in their 1907 Frank Lloyd Wright re-designed home. The Fabyans enjoyed a variety of passions on their 350-acre estate, which they named “Riverbank,” from exotic animals to gardening to code-breaking during World War I to building a levitation device (yes, seriously!).
