Palmer’s role as a commuter hub continues into the present day
Palmer was a major railway crossroad in the 19th century, leading to the Massachusetts town's nickname of the "Town of Seven Railroads." It has continued to be a hub of transportation in modern-day New England due to its convenience to the Massachusetts Turnpike. "Palmer is a popular bedroom community for people who work in eastern and western Massachusetts, thanks to its easy access to the pike," says Karen King, a Realtor with RE/MAX Connections.
