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

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.

07/14/23 - This was a family and friend's trip, we been to house before when it first opened to the public (April 2019). We went there on 05/11/19. It was great to see this house. we love old restored homes. Great tour, good staff, had a great time, we actually got to do the earlier tour, because we got there at 11am to see if there a place to eat in the area, but the person checking us in said the other people didn't show, she she let's go on the tour. Great history. Thank you, Joseph Pell Lombardi, Architect, for saving this piece of history, one of a kind gem. We highly recommend this tour and was not disappointed. Must see...

We took a step back in history when we entered this unusual and genteel home. The house has been preserved and reconstructed where necessary to let you visit just as it was in the 1870's. There was a ton of work required, and you can get a glimpse into what it took. The gardens are also lovely. Definitely worth a detour!
