Town of Seven Railroads

An 1884 Romanesque depot turned restaurant, and the three river-powered mill villages ringing Palmer's rail hub.

Palmer was built to make things, and the buildings still say so. Five stops over 6.3 miles, about 33 minutes of driving. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.

There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
