Marion

Marion lies along Indian Creek in eastern Iowa, where rolling prairie terrain meets the Cedar Rapids metropolitan area. Founded in 1839, it served as Linn County’s first county seat; today, historic Uptown remains its civic center around City Square Park. The Granger House, built in 1840 in the Greek Revival style and preserved as a museum, connects the city to its earliest settlement era. Each May, the Marion Arts Festival fills Uptown with juried artists and a public program, adding a contemporary cultural fixture to the old commercial core.
