Moments that Made US
Moments that Made US is a special, print on demand exhibit put together by a multi-state collective to offer institutions an opportunity to explore themes from the Declaration of Independence, as well as national moments that have made the US into what it is today.
In addition, moments pivotal to Marion’s history and identity are included. Come explore the moments that made our national history and learn about the town of Marion.
Exhibit will run May 22nd - September 30th
Moments that Made ME : Youth Art Exhibit
The youth art exhibit will be displayed along side the "Moments that Made US" exhibit. It's an opportunity for any school-aged youth, 5-18, to explore the elements that have shaped their lives through a variety of artistic mediums. Marion Historical Museum will also be hosting an art sale to raise money for the museum. All proceeds will be shared with student artists.
