About the Merchant's House Museum
Celebrating 75 Years as a Museum, 1936-2011
The Merchant's House Museum is New York City's only family home preserved intact - inside and out - from the mid-19th century. Home to a prosperous merchant-class family for almost 100 years, it is complete with the family's original furnishings and personal possessions, offering a rare and intimate glimpse of domestic life from 1835-1865.
"The distinction of the Merchant's House and it is a powerful one is that it is the real thing. One simply walks through the beautiful doorway into another time and place in New York."

About Sturges Paranormal
Dan Sturges's childhood interest in ghosts and the Civil War led to an interest in researching haunted locations of historical significance. After working with a local group, Sturges (along with colleagues Dan Tisher and Mike Gustavson) formed Sturges Paranormal - whose members include some of the best researchers on the east coast who specialize in historically haunted locations.
Their reputation for using sophisticated investigative techniques and equipment, combined with a levelheaded approach, has given Sturges Paranormal access to some of New York's most notoriously haunted locations (such as The Ed Sullivan Theatre, restaurant One if by Land, Two if by Sea and The Bartow-Pell Mansion).
