Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp has introduced a Wind Phone to Seneca Park, offering visitors a quiet place for reflection and healing. Set near the park’s waterfall, the vintage rotary phone is intentionally unconnected to any service. Instead, it provides a symbolic way for individuals to “call” loved ones who have passed, speaking aloud as part of their personal grieving process.

The Wind Phone was donated by Lisa Rowell and her family, who lost two of their adult children to overdose. Rowell says the practice has been a meaningful part of their own healing journey and the family is grateful to share that comfort with others who may be navigating loss.

Located on Spirit Pond near Colby Temple at the intersection of Stevens and Marion Streets, Seneca Park now offers this serene addition as a space for remembrance, connection and peace.
