Historic Palmyra has been saving history in Palmyra, NY since 1843.
The four museums of Historic Palmyra began during the Urban Renewal
that covered our Nation from 1964 through 1976. Our incorporation
with the NYS Department of State is dated 1967; and in 2005 we
received an absolute charter from the New York State Board of
Regents. As a non-profit, 501 c 3 educational institution, Historic
Palmyra teaches local, county, state, and national history through
its four museums. A complete research facility is located in the
Palmyra Historical Museum and encompasses such subjects as Civil
War, military, Erie Canal, photography, tools, dolls, medical and
many local religious. The artifacts and archives reach from 1781
through 2000. Check out the Sir Winston Churchill connection, the
first weather man, Abolition, Underground Railroad, industry and
business along the Erie Canal and in the old frontier. Don't forget
to check out our Ghost Hunts. All groups and school groups are
welcome. |
