Palmyra

Palmyra is a village and surrounding town in the Finger Lakes region of New York. In the nineteenth century, it was a center for religious revivalism, but today it's one of the most-visited villages along the Erie Canal. Palmyra is the birthplace of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (also known as Mormonism) and claims to be the only community in the U.S. that has a four-corner intersection with a church at each one.
