Reviews
"We went for Twelfth Night Trivia—NJ history with historian Fred Rossi leading us. Wine, lovely desserts, free local honey, cool facts and lots of hilarity. Wonderful!"
"I live 6 houses up from here, and I always remember as a kid playing in the parking lot and saying to my friends you can see a ghost at the top window. I also did a couple of tours and it was a good experience. I will be bringing my kids next time!"
"We visit every year. This time we brought my autistic 7 year old grandson. He was curious and entered with a slightly raised voice. The tour guide stopped and gave a look of disdain. My daughter told him to use his inside voice and the guide repeated this and laughed. The group turned and stared. It's important to be inclusive and welcoming to all. We removed ourselves and toured on our own. This unfortunate experience won't prevent us from visiting again."
"I took a walking tour organized by The Proprietary House and it was above and beyond expectations. There were several leaders and all of them knowledgeable and friendly, and the entire event was thoughtfully prepared. Highly recommend! They definitely do their city of Perth Amboy proud."
"We booked the Historical Experience tour and it was great! Our group were of 7 people. All the staff were friendly and very knowledgeable. This was a great way of bringing history to life! I would recommend this to anyone visiting New Jersey who wanted to see something important related to the United States History. The tea room is MUST HAVE to visit! The room is very beautiful and their complimentary dessert are delicious"
