Tours are not recommended for individuals with difficulty walking up and down three flights of stairs, or those who cannot stand for extended periods of time. Unfortunately, the house is not wheelchair accessible. If a member of your party has mobility concerns, please contact The Octagon House in advance of your tour.
Originally built in the 1860s, The Octagon House is an eight-sided, domed home in the shape of a classic Roman temple. Venture onto the Myths & Mysteries tour to hear about uncanny experiences in the home, uncover the story of the residents’ unusual lives and explore the architectural connections to 19th-century spiritualism.
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.
Tours take place from Sept. 25-Nov. 2. Check the website for specific times on each date.
Ages 12 and up only, please.
