About Palmer

Palmer is a quiet, rural community tucked away on the Cumberland Plateau in Grundy County, Tennessee. Home to around 550 people, it offers a relaxed pace surrounded by thick plateau forests and rolling mountain scenery. The town grew during the early 1900s coal and railroad boom, a heritage that locals still honor at the county's Miners Museum. State Route 108 runs straight through town for easy trips to Gruetli-Laager and Whitwell, while the nearby Collins River headwaters and vast wooded tracts provide plenty of room to roam. It is an appealing spot for anyone seeking privacy, fresh air, and classic small-town roots.
