Palmyra Cleanup and Restoration

When Water-Fire-Storm Damage Happens in Palmyra, We're Ready.

Palmyra is a city in and the county seat of Marion County, Missouri. Palmyra was platted in 1819, and named after Palmyra, in Syria. The settlement was designated county seat in 1827. A post office called Palmyra has been in operation since 1830. Palmyra, seven miles west of the Mississippi River, sits on a natural rock foundation where early settlers found an endless water supply from a clear, sweet spring.  In 1818, Benjamin Vanlandingham and his family arrived from Kentucky and built a log cabin, a replica of which can be seen today, near the Big Spring. In 1862, the city was the scene of the Palmyra Massacre, in which ten Confederate prisoners were killed in retaliation for the disappearance of a local Union man.

The Culbertson-Head Farmstead, Dryden-Louthan House, Gardner House, Marion County Jail and Jailor's House, Peter J. Sowers House, Speigle House, Walker-Woodward-Schaffer House, and Ephraim J. Wilson Farm Complex are all listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
