Before you Go
-
The Armour-Stiner Octagon House is a private home, and parking is extremely limited. We recommend carpooling if coming as a group.
-
The tour is physically demanding and includes two steep flights of stairs, thus is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility.
-
While a ticket is required for all guests, including those under the age of 18, this experience is best suited for ages 12 and up. Babies and toddlers (although delightful) are not appropriate to bring along for the tour.
-
Access to a restroom is very limited, please ask your guests to use restroom facilities before arrival on the site so that the tour can begin and end on time.
-
The House and its grounds are very much privately owned. Please, do not bring your pet, we do not allow animals to roam the property.
