It is hosted by Gateway National Recreation Area of the U.S. National Park Service and takes place in the historic Mont Sec house in a period accurate setting. The program explores how the belief grew from the shadows of the Civil War, the advances in technology and mass media that helped it spread, and its role in the Suffrage movement. Parlors across America hosted seances led by mediums, and respected figures like Arthur Conan Doyle, Mary Todd Lincoln, Thomas Edison and Mark Twain attempted to contact the spirit world.", "url": "https://noky.io/en/new-york/events/spiritualism-in-the-19th-century-55497/", "official_url": "https://www.nps.gov/planyourvisit/event-details.htm?id=B0FD636D-F611-FB0F-86FA0CD568E64C7D", "image": "https://noky.io/images/cc66741e5e8e2566b53c8287a5abca39edda2d0184a0c8c7733b73fa4d38903b-2000.webp", "dates": [{"start": "2026-11-07T14:00:00-05:00", "end": null, "place": "Ryan Visitor Center", "address": "New York Avenue 210, 10305 Staten Island", "tickets": ""}], "similar": [{"title": "Spies Among Us: From the American Revolution to 1830s New York", "start": "2026-11-06T12:00:00-05:00", "end": "2026-11-06T13:30:00-05:00", "place": "Mount Vernon Hotel Museum", "address": "East 61st Street 421, 10065 New York", "price": "", "price_from": "15.00", "price_to": "15.00", "tickets_url": "https://www.eventbrite.com/e/spies-among-us-from-the-american-revolution-to-1830s-new-york-tickets-2001890882519", "category": "talks-readings", "tags": ["history/american-revolution"], "description": "A program at the Mount Vernon Hotel Museum & Garden looking back at spies and spying in New York City from the American Revolution to the 1820s and 1830s.

It is followed by a tour of the Mount Vernon Hotel, where from 1826 to 1833 guests might have gossiped about spies of their day—or been spies themselves—while pursuing leisure activities in the then-tranquil countryside of Manhattan.
