Historic narrative:
After breaking off from the Marion 1st Reformed Church, the Palmyra congregation organized in 1887. They purchased the old Methodist building on Cuyler St. in 1890. The current building was built in 1913 on Canandaigua St. In the 1940s the hitching barns were removed and replaced with an enlarged parking lot.
