We had a wonderful time. Our docent was very knowledgeable and made the experience quite enjoyable. The house itself was beautiful. We highly recommend the tour.

I smelled lilacs upon entering the kitchen. It was so strong I thought it was an air freshener. I didn't mention it as I thought it was part of the "mysteries", or was it? Lovely home and fabulous interior.

Lovely beautifully restored Victorian era home with a haunted history. Small tours by appointment only.

Hello Daniel, thank you for asking! The Octagon House is still a private family home, therefore we kindly ask interested parties to view the house from the aqueduct or West Clinton Avenue.
