About LongHouse Reserve
LongHouse Reserve was created by textile designer Jack Lenor Larsen, who bought the land in the 1970s and built his home there, LongHouse, inspired by the Shinto Ise shrine in Japan. Larsen spent decades designing the gardens, which became a foundation open to the public.
The gardens cover about 6 hectares, with lawns, ponds, tree-lined walks, a grassy amphitheater and plant collections. Scattered through them are sculptures by artists such as Willem de Kooning, Yoko Ono, Buckminster Fuller and Dale Chihuly.
The house hosts exhibitions of design, crafts and art related to Larsen’s work. The garden is open only part of the year and on selected days of the week.
