The William Phelps General Store and Home Museum is one of Historic Palmyra’s 5 museums. The museum where time stands still, has served the needs of Palmyrans and Erie Canawlers as a boarding house, tavern, bakery, and general store since its construction in 1826. Proprietor William Phelps completed renovations to the store by 1875, subsequently left untouched by his son Julius, who locked the doors in 1940, leaving a curious retail time capsule for you and your family to explore. Upstairs you’ll visit the elegant Phelps’ family home with post-Civil War furnishings and Victorian splendor, unspoiled by electricity or indoor plumbing, where Sibyl Phelps resided until her passing in 1976!

Lot’s of history here. Was truly a unique experience. I spent a good amount of time walking through the historical buildings. The lady who offered the tour was accommodating and very welcoming. Was definitely worth while.Update: went back again for the 2nd time with a family member and experienced a separate side to the Phelps general store experience; the ghost tour. Highly recommended.

Historic store that was left exactly the way it was years ago. It’s a great place to visit. You wouldn’t believe the prices of things back then.
