Stepping Stones - Historic Home of Bill and Lois Wilson

Museum

👍👍 So peaceful and centering. I've always wanted to come here and a friend convinced me to. The tour was about 90 minutes with a look at Bill and Lois' home with possessions they had in storage during their years of homelessness. The history comes alive as we tour their home.

The Armour-Stiner Octagon House

Tour operator

I’ve lived in Scarsdale for 10 years and never heard of this delightful home in Irvington. If you are a fan of historic homes, or restored homes, or just intere...

USS Intrepid (CV 11)

Museum

👍👍 Great Museum! The family had a great time learning the history of the ship. Took about three hours to explore the ship itself.
