Join us as we visit Manitoga, the former home and 75 acre woodland garden of the American industrial designer Russel Wright (1904-1976). Beginning in the late 1920s until the 1960s, Wright created a succession of artistically distinctive and commercially successful items that helped bring modern design to the general public.

Manitoga is a National Historic Landmark, an Affiliate Site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and one of the few twentieth-century modern homes with original landscape open to the public.

Our group tour will last 90 minutes and will be conducted rain or shine. Please wear sensible walking shoes and dress for weather. This is a moderately difficult walk/hike. Visitors must able to negotiate uneven ground, several bridge crossings with no handrails, and a flight of forty stone steps. Pets, backpacks, large bags, and tripods are not permitted.

Please note that space on this excursion is extremely limited. Also, this is not a bus trip. Transportation to and from Manitoga is on your own. If you are interested in carpooling, call the HSRC Office at (845) 634-9626.
