Visitors meet at the Public Entrance: Manitoga, 584 Route 9D, Garrison, NY 10524

VIEWING OF THE HOUSE AND STUDIO ARE BY GUIDED TOUR ONLY

Visit MANITOGA, the House, Studio and Woodland Garden of pioneer industrial designer, Russel Wright (1904-1976). Tour Dragon Rock, Wright's experimental home which he 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.

General admission is $25; $20 for Seniors, Students and Members of Manitoga, docomomo, National Trust for Historic Preservation, Native Plant Center and Storm King, and Metro-North Riders with proof of purchase*; $15 for children 5 to 12 years (children under 5 not permitted). Tours are led by professional guides and limited to 15 people.

PLEASE NOTE  - THIS IS A MODERATE HIKE

THE TOUR EXPERIENCE

Visitors follow the upper Quarry path to Dragon Rock. Along the way, the tour features stunning views of the House and Studio, an ascending stone staircase, a field of mountain laurel, and the exquisite moss rooms. Visitors approach Dragon Rock by crossing a majestic waterfall via a wood plank bridge. Interior spaces are defined by expanses of glass, innovative materials use, and seamless connections to outside terraces. The Tour concludes by following a stepping stone path over the Quarry Pool dam to the Visitor/Guide House.

As a part of the Artist Residency Program, Manitoga presents Close Your Physical Eye by Michele Oka Doner. Oka Doner's work and Wright's Manitoga are rooted in the sacredness of nature - its force, transcendence, eternal spirit, and timelessness.

The primal, elemental force of Fire and its diminished role in contemporary society have long held Oka Doner's artistic attention, and she continues her quest at Manitoga. An ancient trunk she foraged from Manitoga's woodlands will transform through fire into a darkened bronze Burning Star with sixteen points of candle light and will occupy the massive hearth of Dragon Rock's living room. Oka Doner gathered the bark of once mighty hemlock trees from Manitoga's forest floor and from these remains have emerged her gods and goddesses - six larger-than-life textured mono-prints on handmade paper, also derived from bark, that will be on view within the main House west gallery.
