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.

I saw a photo of the house and thought, wow, how could I have never heard of such a place. I soon found myself in the area and booked a reservation online, please note that you can not get a ticket at the location, it must be reserved online, which was easy. Pulling into the driveway you are taken with the view of the house which is astonishing, like nothing I have ever seen before, like something from a fairytale. I then had the tour which was wonderful and informative by a young tour guide whose name escapes me but she was great. You lean about the loving restoration that went into making the home as magical as it is today. I highly recommend and a must for anyone into historical buildings and homes.

The home is beautiful! The quality of the restoration is truly amazing. The amount of original components in this home from 1871 is a stunning accomplishment. The staff is friendly and very informative. The tours are well organized and on time. I would take friends and family here again.
