Palmyra

NY · 43.0639, -77.2333

Great Lakes Seaway Trail, Cayuga Lake Scenic Byway and Scenic Route 90 are signed byways within 30 miles of Palmyra, New York.

In the late 1780s, a group of settlers from Connecticut tried to stake the state's claim to land in Northeastern Pennsylvania, due to overlapping provincial charters. Among those Connecticuters was one John Swift, a Revolutionary War veteran. In 1789, with the venture in Pennsylvania bearing little fruit, Swift decamped for Western New York, where the Phelps and Gorham Purchase had large tracts of land for sale.
