About Palmer

Palmer is a quiet, close-knit community in Washington County with roots as an 1870s railroad town. Today, landmarks like the historic downtown jail and St. Paul's Lutheran Church give the area plenty of character. Residents enjoy spending time outdoors at City Park, which offers a ball diamond, playground, picnic shelter, and RV hookups. Every September, neighbors gather for the annual Labor Day celebration, one of the biggest community traditions of the year.
