The story of Palmer Place is as historic as the history of Jefferson County, FL, itself. Martin Palmer, the builder, moved to Jefferson County with slaves, household goods and nine children in 1829. He became a successful planter and also owned a general store and tavern! He built our BIG house to accommodate his family. Adjacent to our property is the Palmer Cemetery, the only family cemetery in the county still associated with the family home. Come see our pictures showing the old to the new and relive the history of the house, its owners and how it became a bed and breakfast. |

|
| The Grand Hall |
|
| Guests are welcomed into the elegance of the Grand Hall. Lantern lights above and oriental carpets underfoot traverse the length of the hall. | |

|
| The Sunporch | |
| The entire back of the first floor of the house is a long sun porch, completely heated and air-conditioned. It is here that we have breakfast and enjoy the beauty of the outside while drinking our first cup of morning coffee. In good weather the adjacent patio is a perfect place to read the morning paper before breakfast is served. |
