<h1>Join us for a look inside The Octagon House!</h1>
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.

<h2>What's included</h2>
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.

You are invited to step into the past and join the enigmatic Jessie Clarke as she hosts her annual literary salon. Jessie Clarke lived at the Octagon House over a century ago, until her death in 1933 — one of the house's most curious figures, and much of her life remains shrouded in mystery. Set aside for her by wealthy relatives, the house was her home for 25 years, where legend holds she lived largely alone. Her story carries added layers of intrigue: the nature of her health in those years remains undocumented and much debated.
Join us for October chills on this tour, which combines history with a touch of the unknown. This dramatic, immersive experience concludes with a riveting reading of "The Raven," performed by Edgar Allan Poe himself.

Step into a realm where haunted history and storytelling intertwine, and be immersed in a ghost story unique to the Octagon House. As you traverse its storied halls, you'll find yourself drawn into the poignant tale of the Lady in White, who lost her love when their steamboat went down on the Hudson River. Her spirit lingers still, waiting along its shores. This immersive experience follows the Lady in White and her devoted mother, still searching, unaware of what has become of her daughter.
Inspired by the 1956 ghost story written by Carl Carmer, the American author who called this house home for thirty years.
