Learn more about Frank Lloyd Wright and the Martin House before your visit

EDUCATIONAL MISSION

The MHRC is dedicated to providing life-long learning opportunities for all ages, from young audiences to adults.

We encourage an understanding of timeless themes underscored by visiting the Martin House: family, friendship, the meaning of home, and the American spirit. Such themes are apparent in the remarkable story of how Darwin D. Martin’s patronage of America’s greatest architect, Frank Lloyd Wright, influenced a revolution in architecture, culture and American life.

Our educational resources will offer you learning experiences aimed at: increasing your knowledge of Frank Lloyd Wright; interpreting the context in which Wright’s architecture created such a significant impact on history and culture; enhancing your understanding and appreciation of the world-class architectural heritage of Western New York.
