Welcome to the home of Marion County, Ohio History.

We encourage you spend some time here exploring.
- learn about and hear President Harding, the moon rocket link to Marion, the origins of the society, our upcoming events, and many other fascinating bits of Marion County History.

Our Online Bookstore is a great resource for new published material from our members and community authors.

Marion is representative of small-town America that helped make the United States what it is today. Farming, Quarrying, Manufacturing, Small Businesses, Local Plants of World-Wide Industries such as Whirlpool Corporation, Huber, Eaton, Quaker Oats and others and Educational Resources such as The Ohio State University Marion all played a part in the growth of America.

Citizens such as newspaperman Warren Harding and socialist Norman Thomas changed the world with their ideas and political success.

Many personages have claimed Marion as a part of their background including jazz saxophonist Gerry Mulligan, White House Counsel John Dean, TV personality Rod Serling, Olympian and Oorang Indians player Jim Thorpe, 40th Treasurer of the United States Mary Ellen Withrow and many others.

Marion hosts the annual Harding Symposium in July of each year, a two-day exploration of Harding's Presidency and how it relates to current events.

Marion's Prairie Heritage as part of the "Prairie Peninsula" is preserved at several sites around the county with blooming prairie species making their annual show in July and August each year.
