THIS WEDNESDAY - Join us for the 'Wednesdays with Willa' podcast with Willa White's special guest, Tracy Murphy, Fox Sisters historian and director of the Historic Palmyra Museums.

Tracy provides us with a 'virtual' tour of the home of the Palmyra Spiritualist and Fox Sisters property supporter, Sybil Phelps. As a Spiritualist and close friend of Mr. John Drummond, she used her work connections to help with the construction and installation of a special monument at the Fox Sisters cottage. Located minutes away from the Hydesville Memorial Park, Sybil's home is a time capsule --- her family's general store was left intact and exactly as it was in 1940 by her father Julius Phelps.

This Wednesday October 28th at TUNE IN LIVE at 10:00 a.m. ET or watch the REPLAY or archived Videos of past shows on Willa's page and YouTube Channel. Enjoy Willa's spiritual discussions with GREAT GUESTS and TOPICS regarding Spiritualism, Mediumship, Healing, Faith, Family, and more!
