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

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.

Just went to visit The Proprietary House in East Brunswick. During the evening around 7:30pm. Do you see what I see? Aspiration on the 1st window to the right of the front door. A woman like figure within the curtain I went the next night, around 10:30PM. Do you see what I see? Aspirations in the lower righthand basement windows and brick!
