Art-full members are invited to join us on Saturday, October 25th for a refreshing escape from the city as we head to charming Irvington-on-Hudson. This picturesque town along the Hudson River is the perfect setting for a day filled with art, history, and community.
After a short 50 min ride from Grand Central, we’ll start with a delicious riverside brunch at Red Hat on the River, a beloved restaurant known for its seasonal cuisine and stunning waterfront views. From there, we’ll journey to one of the most enchanting and architecturally unique homes in America — the Armour–Stiner Octagon House.
This whimsical, fully domed octagonal residence is unlike anything else in the world. Often described as a real-life fairy-tale house, it’s brimming with history, artistry, and secrets. On the Myths & Mysteries Tour, we’ll uncover the fascinating stories behind its design, its symbolism, and the many legends woven into its walls. It’s a rare opportunity to step inside a National Historic Landmark that very few get to explore in such depth.
