Palmer Cemetery Tour Returns: Stories in Stone Celebrates 90 Years of the Matanuska Colony
Contributed by Bridgette Preston
In honor of the 90th anniversary of the Matanuska Colony project, Grandmother Raven Productions, the Palmer Historical Society, and the Palmer Pioneer Cemetery Association present Season Two of Stories in Stone: Palmer Pioneer Cemetery Walking Tour.
The next set of tours is July 28 and 29 at 7 p.m. Tickets are $15 and limited to 40 per night. The June tour sold out quickly—don’t miss your chance!
This year’s tour, Ninety Years Later: From Private Spaces to Public Places, features 12 Matanuska Colony-era residents—homesteaders and colonists whose homes, barns, and properties helped shape the Palmer we know today.
To get your ticket, visit: eventbrite.com and search “Stories in Stone.”
All proceeds benefit the Palmer Historical Society and Palmer Pioneer Cemetery Association.
Be part of Palmer’s living history—join us in honoring the pioneers who turned private dreams into public treasures.
