Boscobel has reopened its doors after 17 months of emergency restoration, but our comeback story isn’t over yet. This winter season, our Insider Tours offer an in-depth exploration of the House, the remarkable objects within it, and a rare opportunity to experience the Historic House Museum mid-restoration, evolving as vital work continues over the coming years.
To mark the 250th birthday of the iconic English author Jane Austen, these tours also feature a special literary-inspired twist. Austen’s Regency England and Boscobel’s early American chapter were shaped by shared tastes, values, and ambitions. From refined social rituals to graceful design, visitors are invited to explore how these transatlantic connections come to life in both Austen’s novels and Boscobel’s architecture and interiors.
This won’t be the perfect, polished Boscobel you may remember. Instead, on these guided tours you’ll encounter something even more compelling: a historic house in the midst of transformation. It’s an immersive experience that celebrates the legacy of Hudson Valley landscapes, reveals the shared cultural currents of the Regency era, and offers a behind-the-scenes look at history being saved piece by piece.
