Hi W-NY folks, Albany here. Tell me about Lily Dale

Hi Friends to my west. I hope you're all doing well.
I am working on a writing project that focuses on the "Burned Over District" era of the Great Awakening in the mid 19th Century. I just learned about Lily Dale.. the supposed center of Spiritualism/ Spiritual Medium activity in Western NY I assume maybe a few of you have been there, can you give me your impressions of it? I'd also welcome any thoughts you have about that particular era of history, any interesting nuggets of local lore that relate to it. Thanks!
