MANITOGA / The Russel Wright Design Center in Garrison, NY presents and interprets Manitoga as the Wrights’ inspiration and design achievement as a leading center for innovative and sustainable design, architecture, and landscape.

Join the Carriage Barn for a group guided tour of MANITOGA, the House, Studio and Woodland Garden of pioneer industrial designer, Russel Wright (1904-1976). Experience Dragon Rock, the experimental home which Wright built onto the rock ledge of an abandoned quarry while masterfully orchestrating the surrounding landscape into a series of outdoor rooms of varying character and delight.  After the guided tour we’ll enjoy a picnic lunch on the grounds.  

Follow the upper Quarry path, enjoying stunning views of the Quarry Pool, House and Studio. An ascending stone stair leads to a mountain laurel grove and the exquisite moss rooms before crossing the majestic Waterfall over a wood plank bridge. Once at Dragon Rock, the House and Studio interiors are defined by expanses of glass, innovative materials use, and seamless connections to outside terraces.

Space is limited.  Please register below. 
Cost including tour and lunch is $75 members / $90 non-members.

Note that the tour includes a moderate hike through the landscape to and from Dragon Rock. Visitors must be able to negotiate uneven ground and ascend and descend a 40-step stone stair with handrail.
