About Phelps General Store and Residence
Phelps General Store and Residence, built in 1826, served Palmyra's canal workers and community during the Erie Canal era. When the store closed in 1940, its contents were left untouched, preserving a time capsule of 19th and early 20th-century life. Visitors can explore the storefront, still lined with original products, and the family residence, complete with Victorian furnishings and everyday artifacts, offering a vivid glimpse into the canal-era past.
