Ghost hunts...
For 185 years the Wm. Phelps General Store and Home has remained in its original location, and at night, its history comes to life. For the past four, years Historic Palmyra has been offering ghost hunts, where the happenings of the past, people, and their experiences can been seen, heard or felt by those who dare to explore. Under a watchful eye, allowing for an enjoyable and pleasant experience, your ghost hunt host will walk with you as you watch for ghostly faces peering through windows or listen for hushed voices saying hello. Whether you are a novice or a seasoned hunter, for those who enjoy the unknown, these hunts are especially exciting. Unknown noises, voices, smells and shadows, real and by chance, these unexplainable happenings occur on their own and without warning. Only you can decide what you believe! Historic Palmyra offers ghost hunts most weekends, and occasionally during the week. Hunts last 6 hours. $30 per person, by reservation only. Shorter hunts are available. Minimum attendance required. 132 and 140 Market Street, Palmyra (315) 597-6981, www.historicpalmyrany.com
By Jessica Youngman PALMYRA Once a month, Vicky Daly makes the rounds with her husband delivering meals to some of the senior residents in the Towpath Manor Apartments complex on Canal Street. She doesnt know how many of the Meals on Wheels recipients are aware that shes the mayor. But thats just as well; shes happy to simply be Vicky. When shes not attending to village business, Daly keeps a full schedule, much of it doing things to help people and give back to the community. In addition to volunteering for Meals on Wheels at Towpath and elsewhere in the county, shes part of the Palmyra Kings Daughters, an organization that provides temporary assistance to the needy, whether its a loaned wheelchair or help paying an electric bill. And, just a few weeks ago you mightve seen the apron-clad mayor serving up hots and burgers at the Wayne County Fair. Shes a member of the Palmyra-Macedon Rotary Club and was happy to work in the organizations concessions booth to raise money for its many service endeavors. For those reasons and more, Daly has been named grand marshal of the
As a community, were very fortunate to have her many years of service, added Klemann. Palmyra Village Clerk Alicia Lynch agreed. She was last years parade marshal. No one loves Palmyra more or works harder on its behalf, she said, then quipped, However, in keeping with the Miss America tradition, I told her Id be happy to fill in for her if she finds herself unable to fulfill her duties!

Palmyras fine heritage dates back to its founding in 1789; first area settler was John Swift. Palmyra, the Queen of Canaltowns, has had an outstanding reputation for business and cultural development. During the heyday of the Erie Canal, Palmyra rivaled in size and diversity of commerce and economics with Rochester.
Our Canaltown boasts of the unique intersection with 4 corner churches, each built in the 1800s...the only Erie Canal Change Bridge and Aqueduct in the area...an original political Liberty Pole which is still standing...a Victorian influenced commerce area with unique circa buildings and ornate stately homes...the only Erie Canal era store in the United Statesthe Phelps Store still in tact with original merchandise and family possessions...the largest collection of historic coverlets in the country at the Alling Coverlet Museum, plus the Erie Canal Depot, the Printing Museum, and the Historic Palmyra Museum, a total of 5 unique museums preserving Palmyras heritage, are located here in this history-rich town. Other noteworthy specifics include... Winston Churchills maternal grandfather lived and worked here, as did General Sampson, an important leader of the Spanish American War...and, Palmyra is home to the Wayne County Fair, the fourth largest agricultural fair in New York State, with its historic Floral Hall built in 1856.
The people who live and work in Palmyra are proud of its heritage and strive to preserve it. We welcome those who come here to celebrate Canaltown Days and encourage you to make this your home, too!
