Private Tour of The Armour-Stiner Octagon House in New York

Overview

The Armour-Stiner Octagon House was built in 1860 as a summer home. To this day, the Spring months here in The Hudson Valley are the most delightful time of the year. Victorian Springtime at The Octagon House, a one-hour tour, includes both a guided exploration of the lush 19th-century grounds and an unforgettable interior tour of this marvelously preserved Victorian Summer Home. Guests will see and smell a vibrant array of Victorian flowers inside the fully restored Lord and Burnham greenhouse, listen to an orchestra of songbirds in the Foxglove Garden, and step back in time with a stroll around the 360-degree verandah. In the interior portion of the tour, see many examples of how the natural world heavily influenced Victorian life and design.

We had a really good time on this tour. The house itself is beautiful and interesting as were the grounds. A cheesy horror flick was made there and a white lady reputedly haunts the place. They had a few fun and cheesy effects in the house. Definitely a good time.

We liked the Octagon house. It seemed very authentic and was beautiful. The docent was very knowledgeable and friendly. Would definitely recommend again.

Since retiring, I have been visiting some of the mansions and museums that Westchester County has to offer and the Octagon House is now one of my favorites. The guide was so wonderful and knowledgeable that she really gave us some interesting information about the house and its owners.
