"Palmyra has been called the Handsomest City in North Missouri and has over 200 antebellum structures in a variety of architectural styles with six buildings individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Among these homes are the 1869 Italianate Darwell House, the childhood home of Jane Darwell, who won the winner in 1940 of an Academy Award for her role as Ma Joad in “The Grapes of Wrath,” and the 1855 P. J. Sowers Home, which was once the home of William Russell, one of the founders of the Pony Express. During the warmer months visitors can pick up walking tour maps at the Gardner House on Main Street during the warmer months. The Gardner House (photo left) has served as a stagecoach inn, tavern, private school, a private residence, and now is home to a museum and visitor center." ~ The Great River Road
