The tour starts in the Greatbatch Pavilion – the all-glass building immediately west (left) of the Darwin Martin House. The House is located at 125 Jewett Parkway, Buffalo, NY 14214.

We strongly recommend that you make a reservation. We restrict the number of visitors on each tour and we often reach capacity. We don’t want you to be disappointed if you arrive without a reservation and we are sold out. You can make a reservation online or by telephone at 716-856-3858.  

The Martin House complex is located in a residential neighborhood. We ask that you park at the Buffalo Zoo Parking lot located at the corner of Jewett Parkway and Parkside Avenue. Cross the street and walk down Jewett Parkway. It is 180 paces from the Buffalo Zoo parking lot to the Martin House. Tell our Visitor Services staff that you parked in the Zoo lot, and they will give you a token so that you can exit the parking lot.

The complex is not currently wheelchair accessible.

We have one wheelchair available for the convenience of our guests with mobility issues.

There is a considerable amount of walking, standing and stair-climbing involved in both the Basic and In-Depth tours. Please wear comfortable walking shoes! There are very few places to sit down on the tour.

Come prepared for the weather. Part of the tour is conducted outside and the weather can sometimes be cool or rainy.

The only way to enter the houses at the site is with a guided tour. You are welcome to view the exterior of the Martin House complex, visit the Eleanor and Wilson Greatbatch Pavilion during tour hours and enjoy the educational displays.  The Wisteria Museum Shop located in the Carriage House is also open during tours.

We don’t have a restaurant on-site but our Guest Services Staff and Volunteers are happy to direct you to any type of restaurant you may be interested in nearby. Additionally the Buffalo Niagara Convention and Visitors Bureau website is a useful resource in planning your visit to Buffalo.
