Back to main Education page

Explore Wright’s uniquely American architecture through a visit to the Martin House complex.

We offer school group tours for 4th graders and up. We can tailor a tour for your class and curricular needs, addressing the New York State Learning Standards for Social Studies, Art, Mathematics, and other subjects!

Group tours visit four of the five interconnected buildings of the Martin House complex: the Martin House, pergola, conservatory and carriage house (with an exterior view of the Barton House) – Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie masterwork in Buffalo’s Parkside neighborhood.

Please call Sherrie Larivey at (716) 856.3858 to book a tour for your class.

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.
