The Armour-Stiner Octagon House
On this seasonal one-hour tour, visitors will explore The Armour-Stiner Octagon House and its idyllic landscape – both prime examples of the romantic and picturesque ideals of the third quarter of the 19th century.
The tour includes the property’s Lord & Burnham greenhouse and Foxglove Garden, in addition to the veranda and selected rooms on the three primary floors inside. While enjoying lush gardens and whimsical architectural details, learn about the exotic plant species on the property, the evolution of modern landscape architecture, and the restoration of this historic property.
This tour is rain or shine. During inclement weather, guides will discuss the gardens from the covered veranda.
