First of all tours start at 10 a.m. ticket sells begin at 9: 30. NOT at 8 like Google says. Just the park grounds are open at 8 a.m. for walking on trails only. The interior of the house is just amazing to see. Our tour guide Erin was very nice and informed.

Arrived too late (my own doing) so only got to walk around the grounds, but that was a pleasant experience on its own!

Doug Stewart | Sep 16, 2018

It seems that Frederick Edwin Church, the founder of the property that became known as Olana named it such after returning from an 18 month trip to the Middle East. Someone while on the trip purchased him some Middle Eastern geographical books. It seems he was inspired by some of the names to call this established property 'Olana".
