Marion

Marion combines a compact Midwestern downtown with the corridor of the Mississinewa River in a way that reflects its position in east-central Indiana. As the seat of Grant County, it has long served the surrounding agricultural communities, while Indiana Wesleyan University gives the city a substantial educational presence. The Quilters Hall of Fame, housed in the former home of designer Marie Webster, preserves an important chapter of American quilting. Marion also grew during Indiana’s late-19th-century natural-gas boom, an era that shaped many towns in this part of the state.
