If you're a Frank Lloyd Wright fanatic, or just love architecture, Wingspread is a must-see.  I came here on a personal tour I had set up with the foundation (call 262-681-3353 or email email tour@johnsonfdn.org).  The best part was that it was me, my architect boyfriend and the house, that's it!  The receptionist told us a bit of the house's history, she put on a movie about building the house, allowed us to ask any questions, and then let us free to roam.  This is one of the few architectural gems that I have come across allowing you to do all this on your own.  We were able to explore at our own pace, sit in the original barrel chairs, and climb up into the wig-wam's roof window dome for a 360 view of the lands.  The house is in the back woods, hiding from the public, allowing it to remain an astounding architectural secret!
