All Spiritualist Sites

Sites of the Spiritualist movement, which holds that the living can communicate with the dead through mediums, and traces its modern form to upstate New York in 1848. Lily Dale and Cassadaga, both intentional Spiritualist communities founded in the late nineteenth century in New York and Florida, anchor this grouping. Spiritualism is treated here as a living religious movement with active congregations rather than as a historical curiosity, and its practices are described rather than instructed.
