History
The original house was built in the
1840's ona site occupied as early as 1812 by
Blackman's Blacksmith Shop. In the 1870's, the
Baptist Church Society purchased the house to serve
as the its Parsonage. In 1879, Mr. Van Deuzer of the West Shore Railroad acquired the house and transformed
it into the
architectural gem it is today, complete with cupola, expansive
veranda and gingerbread trim.
 Throughout most of the 20th Century, Liberty House served several private families,
including that of George Cadwallader (1878-1977), Purchasing Agent for the Garlock
Packing Company, President of the Village of Palmyra, and last surviving
local Spanish
American War veteran.
