Horace Greeley House

Horace Greeley House was built between 1852 and 1854 during the rapid development of downtown Chappaqua after the arrival of the railroad. The house was the country home of the Greeley family from 1864 until 1873.

Tours & Gardens

Visit our garden and enjoy the quiet oasis within our downtown. Several of the beds include plants of the Greeley era such as lavender, yarrow, sunflowers, horehound, dill, and more. 

Step back into history and tour what was the former country home of the Greeley family from 1864 until 1873. Group tours (10 or more) are available by advance reservation only. Please contact the office to schedule a tour.
