Historic Palmyra - Evidence
The evidence posted on this page was collected at Historic Palmyra. The site is the current home of the Historic Palmyra Museum which consists of the Historical Museum, the Alling Coverlet, the Phelps General Store, the Print Shop, and the Canal Depot. The Historical Museum was moved to the site in 1976 left vacant by one of Palmyra's most tragic events.
On December 20, 1964 there was fire at 123 Market Street....just a few doors down from the Phelps General Store. The fire claimed the lives of a mother, Anna Breeden and her 6 young children (Eddie, Dennis, Sharon, Susan, Mitchell, and Samuel). Many believe the husband, Paul Breeden, who was said to be out of town when the blaze started, was responsible for fire but no proof ever surfaced.
