Brave the immersive Lady in White tour where unsuspecting guests have their visit interrupted by a mysterious young woman 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.
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.
This program takes place Fridays-Sundays from Oct. 16 through Nov. 1.
