In 1997 Boscobel opened a one mile long Woodland Trail on 30 acres south of the mansion. Other attractions include an orangerie and herb garden, rose garden, an apple orchard, Gate House, Necessary House, the original Spring House and the Carriage House where the Gift Shop is located.

The Russel Wright Design Center - Manitoga
Route 9D
Garrison, NY 10524

845.424.3812
Email: info@manitoga.org
MANITOGA, THE RUSSEL WRIGHT DESIGN CENTER, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Offers over four miles of artfully designed trails for hiking and picnicking. When the designer Russel Wright found this property in 1942, it had been damaged by a century of quarrying and lumbering. He carefully redesigned and re-sculpted Manitoga's 75 acres using native plants, his training as a theater designer and sculptor, and his innovative design ideas. Though the landscape appears natural, it is actually a careful design of native trees, rocks, ferns, mosses, and wildflowers. Dragon Rock, Wright's experimental house, has 11 levels, and takes maximum advantage of its cliff-side setting, enhancing rather than dominating its surroundings.

Daily House and Landscape Tours at 11:00am April-October. Groups of 10 or more by reservation. Admission: $15.
