If you love historic homes, then you’ll love the Phelps Mansion Museum in Binghamton. This three-floor, Second Empire-style home was built in 1870 as a private home for businessman Sherman David Phelps, founder of the Susquehanna Valley Bank and, later, mayor of the city. He lived in it until he died in 1878 and it stayed in the family until 1889. Since then, it changed hands several times, but today, you can tour this incredible historic home in New York to see how the very wealthy lived during this time period. Read on to learn more.
