The Matanuska Colony Community Center, also Palmer Historic District, is a cluster of buildings near the center of Palmer, Alaska that were the centerpiece of the Depression-era Matanuska Valley Colony.
This federal rural resettlement program was intended to give needy families resources and land to improve their condition.
The colony's buildings were erected beginning in 1935, and those that survive represent a well-preserved example of government community planning.
The colony's Central School, now added to several times, houses the offices of the Matanuska-Susitna Borough.
