PALMYRA Palmyra appeals to the senses. A place to walk, bike, browse and enjoy. Every season has its charm here. Whether you’re an outdoor or indoor enthusiast, Palmyra has something for you to enjoy. Palmyra is situated at the extreme upper end of the Scuppernong River and lies about forty miles from both Milwaukee and Madison. The Village is near the heart of the southern unit of the Kettle Moraine State Forest which has more than 20,000 acres of glacial hills, kettles, lakes, prairie restoration sites, pine woods and hardwood forests. HISTORY Named after a city in the Syrian Desert because of the abundance of sand, Palmyra was incorporated on April 4, 1866. Six mineral springs, each known for their medical and therapeutic properties, were an important part of Palmyra’s early years. From 1870 to the early 1920’s, people from across the country visited Palmyra enjoying the healing waters at the Palmyra Spring Sanitarium. In 1924, the sanitarium became the National Druggist Home, but a few years later interest in the therapeutic mineral water treatments declined and the sanitarium was closed. In the late 1950’s the building was razed and the land leveled. This era helped shape the history of Palmyra. History buffs are welcome to visit the Turner Museum and McKenzie/Carlin Historical House at the corner of Third and Main Street. The next time you need a gift or just want something unique 26 Jefferson County: THE OFFICIAL GUIDE 2013 for yourself, stop in at the museum and visit the gift shop.
