THE STORY
Reported Haunting
The Wallace House and Old Dutch Parsonage are associated with Revolutionary War ghost legends. Visitors have reported apparitions, mysterious footsteps, and unexplained voices within the preserved historic buildings.
The Old Dutch Parsonage was built in 1751 and was moved around 1913 to its present location, next door to the 1775 Wallace House. The Parsonage is said to be extremely haunted, with screams, banging, and objects being moved around at night. The Wallace House also is said to have a ghost, albeit a friendly one, known to tug clothing or tap the shoulders of guests and guides during tours. George Washington and his officers allegedly stayed here during the Revolutionary War.
