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.

This is a fascinating place. It has been beautifully restored and furnished. It certainly gives you a glimpse of how a well off family lived in the 1870's. The tour guide was very knowledgable and shared so many intriguing facts and stories. She made the house come alive and answered all our questions with enthusiasm. Visit this house- you will love it.

Beautiful gardens and home. Unique American architectural history inside and out. Loving, restored home in the Victorian style. The guide was helpful, informative and knowledgeable. Well worth the visit to this fabulous display of American history.
