The Octagon House: A Classic Tour
Join us for a look inside The Octagon House!
Experience The Armour-Stiner Octagon House for the first time, or return for another visit! The one-hour Classic Tour gives a foundational understanding of this iconic house and features something for everyone. Shaped by the vision and determination of the individuals who have owned this lyrical house through the years, its magnificent ornamentation and period furnishings make it one of the most unique examples of the uninhibited individualism of 19th century architecture.
What’s included
Visitors will learn about the history of this National Historic Landmark, the motives behind its unique shape, and most recently its restoration from near-ruin, as they tour the veranda and three primary floors.
At the conclusion of the tour, visitors are invited to experience Remember You Must Die, a curated exhibition from the Memento Mori collection of Ryan Matthew Cohn featuring objects ranging from ancient artifacts to contemporary works and examining the ways past generations confronted mortality through art, ritual, memory, and spirituality.
This special seasonal tour is the perfect addition to your autumn adventures in the Hudson Valley.
