student GROUP tour

Student group tours offer a focused experience of the architecture, landscape and collections at Manitoga for school groups. Tours are $15 per student and are available by appointment only for a minimum of 12 to book. Please note that there are transportation guidelines. Group Tours must be arranged at least 2 weeks in advance, OUTSIDE of Public Tour dates and times. Advance reservations required.

THE TOUR EXPERIENCE

Visitors follow the upper Quarry path to enjoy 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 visitors cross a 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. Guests are invited to explore the new Russel & Mary Wright Design Gallery, built to permanently display the Wrights’ ground-breaking designs for the American home at Manitoga. The experience concludes by following a stepping stone path over the Quarry Pool dam back to the Visitor/Guide House.

All Group Tours include The Russel & Mary Wright Design Gallery at Manitoga, featuring over 200 objects from the Wrights’ ground-breaking designs for the American home, with lead support from the Henry Luce Foundation.
