Though the Cornwall Historical Society still stocks maps of Dudleytown that show where certain families lived, as well as a book written in 1966 documenting its history, it does not encourage ghost seekers. Later this fall, Mr. Gannett said, the society hopes to quell the Dudleytown legends when it publishes a booklet called 'The True Facts of Dudleytown.'
Written by Harriet Clark, a resident of Cornwall whose ancestors lived in Dudleytown, the booklet pieces together the history of a community that simply prospered and then died of natural causes. Ms. Clark, a former president of the historical society who is now in her 90's, concludes the book with a plea to tourists: 'Today's owners and taxpayers of Dudleytown are professional people who live their for privacy and seclusion. They do not welcome tourists or those seeking tales of chilling or wild experiences. Please do not come. There are no ghosts, no spirits and no curse.'
