Palmyra, NY Tees




Since moving to a bigger and brighter store, we’ve expanded our Palmyra, NY line of merchandise. Over the next month or so, we plan to add youth hoodies, adult zip hoodies, hats, totes, infant and toddler items and more adult tees. We honestly love the village of Palmyra and love to design tee shirts that promote it. We try to make a good variety of styles for all different tastes.

Our most popular tee so far this spring has been our “I heart Palmyra, NY” tee. I told a customer last week that we don’t particularly love New York, but we sure love Palmyra! The original “ I heart NY” shirt has always reminded me of NYC, which is NOTHING like the beautiful and historic village of Palmyra. We plan to offer this shirt in youth and adult sizes and expect it to continue to be a winner for us.

We also have expanded our ladies’ Palmyra merchandise. Currently we have three different styles of ladies’ tees and some fabulous beach blue zip hoodies. The logos are more feminine and the garments are cut for ladies, so these are quite popular as well.

Another new item we are quite excited about is our line of Palmyra street scene merchandise. This design is a reproduction of the north side of the 200 block of downtown Palmyra. The historic architecture of Palmyra is fantastic, and these tees, sweatshirts, and totes celebrate that! You can literally look out our store’s front windows and see the buildings depicted on your shirt.

Logo Factory is proud to be located in the historic downtown district of Palmyra. We hope our love of our town shines through the merchandise we offer.

Take a Hike!



If you’ve never been to Palmyra, you may not know that we have some of the best trails and nature areas along the Erie Canal. One of our favorite places to walk is the loop that starts at Aqueduct Park on the west end of the village. Park near the beautifully restored change bridge and walk under it along the trail. This path becomes the original towpath near the old, landlocked section of the original canal. Over the years we’ve seen deer, foxes, geese, beavers, raccoons, woodchucks and muskrats. We’ve seen a huge variety of birds (including a juvenile bald eagle and a white swan) and wildflowers on this stretch of the trail as well. Just before you reach Maple Avenue, take a left through the woods and you’ll emerge by the modern canal. You can walk the distance back to your car with a completely different view.

On your left you’ll see this set of steps that take you to a decked overlook of a portion of the wetlands between the two canals. This is the spot Logo Factory has sponsored. Look for our plaque (but note that our address has changed just a bit to 202 East Main).

As you walk along this part of the trail, you have woods on your left and water on your right. It can be hard to believe that you are so close to one of our county’s busiest routes when you experience the peaceful sounds of nature here. Once you reach the park, you can take a short walk over the bridge to get to the lock. Visit the park in the summer months and chances are you’ll get to see the lock in action! Watching a boat travel through a canal lock is fascinating, and something everyone should see.

Take a hike or two this year along this trail and you’ll be sure to feel refreshed and relaxed. We may see you out there!
