Palmyra’s 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 1800’s...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 States—the 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 Palmyra’s heritage, are located here in this history-rich town. Other noteworthy specifics include...Winston Churchill’s 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!

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

Ghost hunts...


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 doesn’t know how many of the Meals on Wheels recipients are aware that she’s the mayor. But that’s just as well; she’s happy to simply be “Vicky.”

When she’s 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, she’s part of the Palmyra Kings Daughters, an organization that provides temporary assistance to the needy, whether it’s a loaned wheelchair or help paying an electric bill.

And, just a few weeks ago you might’ve seen the apron-clad mayor serving up hots and burgers at the Wayne County Fair. She’s a member of the Palmyra-Macedon Rotary Club and was happy to work in the organization’s concessions booth to raise money for its many service endeavors.

For those reasons and more, Daly has been named grand marshal of the

“grand parade” in this year’s Canaltown Days festival, slated for Sept. 15 and 16, on East Main Street in the village. The parade is the festival’s centerpiece, and it’s grand marshal is a dignitary. “I was very surprised,” said Daly of being picked, “and very flattered—and humbled.”

A committee of past parade marshals make the selection each year, explained Canaltown Days Committee Chairman Tom Klemann. “Those are the people that are involved in the community, who do a lot of volunteer work,” he said. “So they best know the people in the community who are doing a lot of the things with them and the people who should be recognized.”

Jerry Kelly chairs the marshal selection. “She’s very civic minded,” he said. “She has been promoting Palmyra for a number of years. And those are some of the qualifications we look for. Her track record is really outstanding.”

Daly has received several awards in her 11 years as mayor. But the grand marshal honor is extra special because it comes from home. It’s timely, too. Daly recently announced she would not seek a fourth term in office; voters will pick a new mayor in the general election this November.

Daly decided she wanted to be mayor three years into her retirement from a successful career in education: She had been a teacher, librarian and a staff developer for Wayne-Finger Lakes BOCES. “It seemed to me there ought to be a choice in the village of Palmyra,” she said.

When she took the helm in 2001 she launched a weekly newspaper column called “Conversation with the Mayor” to keep residents abreast of local happenings. She has used it promote local offerings like the canal and shops and, on occasion, to address rumors or controversy. It was fitting since her platform was simple: “I’ll listen to you and I’ll get you an answer.”

“In the end,” she added, “that’s what I’ve done. Sometimes you don’t like it but you do get an answer.”

Daly and her husband have been married almost 53 years. They have four

Vicky Daly: 2012 Parade Marshalgrown children and four grandchildren. Their nest is not quite empty, though, as they’ve got a 1-year-old Welsh Pembroke corgi named Stubby to keep them company.

As mayor, Daly has been a tireless Erie Canal booster. She has pushed for the expansion of the trail and the Port of Palmyra Marina, which recently saw the addition of a pavilion with restrooms and showers. She often speaks of the virtues of canal tourism and has even bent the ear of the now Secretary of State Hilary Clinton over coffee in the Muddy Waters Café, which overlooks the port.

And, Daly is a member of Canal New York, an organization aimed at promoting the waterway and the businesses that rely on its users.

Another of her priorities has been protecting local landmarks. She’s proud to have helped see to the creation of a village preservation commission, which supports a village “historic preservation ordinance.” The Landmark Society of Western New York gave Daly the Paul Malo award in 2010 in part because, under her watch, the village was the first in the county to adopt such an ordinance. Likewise, the society appreciated her efforts in expanding the village’s National Register Historic District.

“I know she has done a great job for Palmyra both as mayor and with all the other things that she does,” said Klemann.

And those “other things” are often small acts of kindness, like the delivery of a hot meal.

“As a community, we’re very fortunate to have her many years of service,” added Klemann.

Palmyra Village Clerk Alicia Lynch agreed. She was last year’s parade marshal. “No one loves Palmyra more or works harder on it’s behalf,” she said, then quipped, “However, in keeping with the Miss America tradition, I told her I’d be happy to fill in for her if she finds herself unable to fulfill her duties!”

A wide array of new and previously owned merchandise, unique items not easily found in local retail stores, and just about everything in between is featured at the Market Square, in the parking lot of the downtown branch of Community Bank. Think Christmas gift shopping! Check out the vendor list! For further details, contact Deb Profeta or Patti Griffin at www.palmyracanaltowndays.org

Palmyra Antique and Classic Car Show

Walk the same steps as the settlers of our area, and learn the importance of the Erie Canal when it was the chief means of transportation. Veteran guides Bill Rider and Pete Henry will conduct informative one hour walking tours on Saturday at 11:00 am and 1:00 pm; and Sunday at 1:00 pm.

Tour begins at the Information Booth downtown. Return busing will be available when your tour completes at Aqueduct Park for your convenience.

Canal Walking ToursCivil War EncampmentOur Canaltown area was keenly represented in the 1861-1865 Civil War, including the Battle of Gettysburg. Experience what day-to-day life was really like for a Union Civil War soldier. The 28th NY Volunteer Infantry will camp out and perform demonstrations on the west lawn of Zion Episcopal Church on the four churches corner of Main Street.

These dedicated living history reanactors attend memorial services, parades and events such as Canaltown Days throughout the eastern United States to preserve the memory and give honor to the Men in Blue.

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

Palmyra’s 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 1800’s...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 States—the 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 Palmyra’s heritage, are located here in this history-rich town. Other noteworthy specifics include...Winston Churchill’s 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!
