When: Monday, October 9, 2023, 5-7pm

Where: The history tour will begin at the Palmer Museum and Visitor Center, located at 723 S. Valley Way, Palmer, AK 99645. Our tour will include a stroll around the downtown Palmer area and end at the Colony House Museum in downtown Palmer, located at 316 Elmwood Avenue, Palmer, AK 99645. Plan to meet inside the Palmer Visitor Center at 5pm.

About the event and what to expect: This evening event is an after-hours opportunity to connect with the Palmer Visitor Center and Museum and the Colony Museum. Both downtown Palmer museums offer opportunities to learn more about the area’s rich history. This particular tour takes a closer look at events and buildings from the Matanuska Colony Project. We hope this activity highlights local resources including the downtown Visitor Center and the Palmer Historical Society.

This tour will be guided by staff of the Palmer Visitor Center and the Colony House Museum, in conjunction with Revel Treks and Tours. 

Cost: There is a $30 fee for this event. Registration cost includes walking history tour fees and a contribution to the Palmer Historical Society. Proceeds benefit both organizations equally.
