Marion County Museum
Overview
This building pictured below, the first public school in Marion County, was built in 1886 by the Marion Academy Society, chartered in 1811. The Society, which had operated a private school here for almost seventy years, then turned the school over to the Marion County School District as the new public school. The Marion Graded School, which closed in 1976 after ninety years of continuous service to the community, now houses the Marion County Museum.
