Octagon House:

Set high on the banks of the Hudson River is the unique and spectacular Armour-Stiner Octagon House.  This enigmatic fully domed octagonal mansion was built in 1872 to replicate Donato Bramante’s Tempietto in Rome and wow is it a sight to see!

For years, local rumors have swirled around The Octagon House implying its connection with the spirit world.  Today we’ll delve into the myths and mysteries of the house from its floor plan rooted in 19th century Phrenology to speculations of a resident ghost and otherworldly experiences had by the current owners.

In the spirit of Halloween, we’ll hear tales of the unexplained and uncanny events that occurred in this magical house while experiencing the delight of this meticulously restored architectural wonder.

Lunch in Tarrytown:

Our next encounter will be with the “ghosts” at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery.  Our guided walking tour will provide stories to unlock some of the secrets behind the stones in this 170-year-old cemetery while discovering the meaning of unusual symbols along the way.

Our walk will be filled with interesting history, artistic sculptures, and lovely scenery with amazing architecture while visiting some of the most impressive residents, including the infamous Washington Irving.

Keep an eye out for the “Headless Horseman Bridge” as we leave the cemetery!
