Palmer Visitor Information Center

The Tourist Information building Palmer is a rustic cabin that was built in 1967 and is in the same building as The Palmer Museum of History and Art. Opposite this building, in the parking lot, is a statue of a Husky Dog named Balto, who was one of the first dogs to run the Iditarod sled race. In the summer months around the cabin, beautiful flowers and huge vegetables grow, because as the sun never sets during the three summer months, plants and vegetation never stop growing. Everything you ever wanted to know about the Matanuska-Susitna Valley or Palmer can be found here.
