Mission

Lily Dale Assembly is an international member organization and residential community of people who practice the faith of Spiritualism, applied through prayer, meditation, healing, and mediumship.

History

Founded in 1879 on the shore of Cassadaga Lake in western New York, Lily Dale is the oldest and largest Spiritualist assembly in the world. The Fox Cottage, birthplace of modern Spiritualism, was moved onto its grounds and stood until a 1955 fire; its site is now a memorial garden. The community's 1890 schoolhouse museum and the Marion H. Skidmore Library, holding the world's largest collection of Spiritualist books, anchor its research heritage.
