Colony Days Special: $12 Historic Walking Tour

  • Palmer Visitor Center 723 South Valley Way Palmer, AK, 99645 United States (map)

Join the Revel crew for a Colony Days special. We’ll be offering our Downtown Historic Walking Tour for only $12.

What to expect:

During the 1930s, Palmer's roots as a farming community grew with the Matanuska Colony Project. Over 200 families relocated to the Palmer area under the New Deal. Many of Palmer's downtown buildings were constructed during the 1930s.

We'll take a walk back in time, learning about what made the area so enticing for farmers, how the project unfolded, and the influence it left on our town.

During our time together, we will walk about 1 mile on paved sidewalks through downtown Palmer's historic district. On the tour, we will visit 2 historic buildings.
