MAKE PALMYRA YOUR NEXT DESTINATION
The town of Palmyra was originally called Palmstown until 1810, and was founded by a Revolutionary War physician and soldier, Dr. John Palm. It became well known as a “horse stop”; a place to eat, and drink as major routes of land, water and rail travel developed through the area. Horseshoe Pike (Route 322) was used by farmers to barter their grain and produce merchandise from the town’s shopkeepers. The production of shoes (1890) and bologna (1902) found their home in Palmyra. Seltzer’s Bologna operates and remains a local landmark to this day.
