TOURS
New! The Gardener's Cottage is open for tours!
In-depth
Tours of the Martin House complex visit spaces not seen on the basic one-hour
tour, including the Barton House (1903) and the Gardener's Cottage (1909.) In
slightly under two-hours, these tours are unhurried so that you can absorb the
ambience of the house and take time to appreciate the details. Your docent will
expand on the Martin and Wright story to provide even greater context to the genius
of this architectural masterpiece. FOCUS
TOUR
with master docent, Duane Churchill
2 1Ú2 hour

for Martin House Associates. Follow
the signage to the Carriage House, which is where tour will gather. Rain or shine.
Reservations required. Call 716-856-3858. Your
Focus Tour with master docent, Duane Churchill, will reveal how the Martin
House is the creation of a brilliant architect and his client - a man whom, upon
his passing, Wright referred to as Òhis best friend.Ó As an expert storyteller,
Duane unravels Frank Lloyd Wright's genius in weaving a portrait of Darwin Martin
into the fabric of the building. You will visit spaces in the Martin House complex
that are not included on the basic tour, including the Barton House (1903) and
the Gardener's Cottage (1909). Children
under 10 not permitted on this tour GROUP

when you purchase a combination ticket to the Darwin D. Martin House complex and
