Merchant's House Museum - preserved 19th-century home with ghost stories

The Tredwell family lived at 29 East 4th Street from 1835 until 1933; the house is preserved as the Merchant's House Museum and is a U.S. National Historic Landmark. For decades the site has attracted reports from visitors and staff of apparitions, cold spots, and other unexplained phenomena, making it a well-known haunted-house legend in New York City. Museum staff and investigators note these reports are anecdotal and not scientifically verified.
