Palmyra
Liner notes
A folk song about Palmyra, Wisconsin, known as the Heartbeat of the Kettle Moraine. The lyrics sing of the old healing mineral springs and the 1852 railroad that brought travelers to the resort spas. The song reflects on the quiet beauty of the Scuppernong River and the memories preserved at the Carlin House on North Third Street.
