The public is welcome and a weaving demonstration will be presented by Rochester Weaver’s Guild’s Freda Peisley. The event hours are 11-4 p.m. with the demonstration at 1 p.m.
The museums on Market Street will also be open for your viewing pleasure. June 1st marked the start of the extended summer hours of all the Historic Palmyra museums.

The Alling Coverlet is open 1-4 p.m. daily with special exception on June 11th 11-4 p.m.
The four amazing museums of Historic Palmyra offer authentic, unique, and incredible history, coverlets, artifacts, furnishings, photographs, and archives as well as a fine local, made in the U.S.A. product gift shop. These museums have dotted the north side of Palmyra for 35 years and are now celebrating the saving of Palmyra and vicinity’s history through these amazing museums. For a small community in the middle of Wayne County to offer these four world class, unique, original museums is amazing in itself, but the collections are even more amazing. The Wm. Phelps General Store is a total original. The building features 185 years of history as a store that served the Erie Canal from its beginning. Through the 108 years of the Phelps family business and home, this building is original with furnishings, store products, and even eggs from 1940. Truly an experience for the entire family.
The Palmyra Historical Museum is a 23 room old hotel called the St. James which was on William Street and saved from the plight of Urban Renewal as was the rest of the Village of Palmyra by the efforts of Historic Palmyra between 1964 and 1976. Each room of this 1826/1898 building is packed with artifacts from 1781 up to today. No matter what your interest, Historic Palmyra has a museum for you.
