About
Tour guides give tours of the House - introducing visitors to Frederic Church and his family, the Hudson River School, and the marvelous collection of art and objects that fill each room. This is a fun way to share what you love about Olana as well as expand your knowledge about its history. Tour guides are extensively trained and some background reading is required.
As a tour guide, you'll receive 40 hours of training where you'll be shadowing other people's tours and learning all there is to know before you guide tours independently.
Would you like more information? Email us or visit us at the Olana Visitor Center on September 14 or 16 from 11am-1pm.
