1818
The only written claim concerning Indians in Palmira was that of Mrs. Flora Tetrick when she wrote that her mother spoke of the Mason farm still being much in forest and the wild state in the early 1820s and that once when young Sarah(Mason) and her siblings were playing in the creek with a homemade wooden wagon, one of the children looked up and saw a number of Indians coming up the creek toward them. The children scampered up the bank to their home and pieces of the wagon were strewn all along the way. |

Businesses also purchase bricks to show their support and it is another way to advertise. All funds raised by this project will be used for fixtures needed to display acquisitions. There are two ways you can order a brick: mail or online. To order via mail: It is easy to place an order. Simply download the form and fill in the information to be engraved on the brick.
