Community Center (Depot)
The Palmer Depot represents the pioneering era of growth and social experimentation in the Valley, when the 40 miles between Palmer and the area that is now Anchorage would have involved a major journey into a wilderness region and the Alaska Railroad was the fastest and safest mode of transportation.
The Depot now serves as a community center for our area and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
