The Story
Historic Palmyra's museum complex offers ghost accounts, photographs and recordings gathered in its canal-era buildings. The family residence above the preserved Phelps General Store is one focus; another concerns a fatal fire on the historical museum's site before the present building was moved there. Guides relate the stories during dedicated ghost tours and investigations.
The Hauntings
Historic Palmyra's museum complex offers ghost accounts, photographs and recordings gathered in its canal-era buildings. The family residence above the preserved Phelps General Store is one focus; another concerns a fatal fire on the historical museum's site before the present building was moved there. Guides relate the stories during dedicated ghost tours and investigations. The Trail page is internally inconsistent about which building occupies the fatal-fire site. Do not attach that fire to the Phelps Store without a separate historical source.
