I've learned that sometimes when you are about to review a place, read other reviews and step back…read moreand think. I was about to give it a three until I read reviews. I didn't go and visit the house, I didn't take the tours, I was about to base it on how it didn't personally fit my needs. I would have wanted to camp there and realize it wasn't for me. Now for the positive, it's a beautiful place and it has great historic value. I loved the store. The young person behind the counter was so nice and helpful. We bought a gallon of maple syrup and a smaller one for our camper. It was on sale for 10% discount. The greatest thing though is that they sell fresh meat from the farm. They have a cool place for the kids on the other side of the store. The cute parrot pictured was in the lobby.

The welcome center was pretty nice and had a small kids museum inside that was interactive. There's also a gift shop with cute merch, local items, maple syrup, and other extras. They offer tours of some of the buildings for purchase, which is a cool option if you want a deeper experience, but even just walking around the property on your own is enjoyable. Overall, a really nice place to explore for a bit.

Coining here I was in and out in no time at all I'm not sure if it's always like that but on this given day it was definitely super fast as when compared to courts in other states I've lives in! The staff and the cops were both super friendly and helped me get to where I needed to go and got my paperwork done quickly so that was definitely awesome! They do have a rule of no cell phones inside so make sure you leave it in your car or another safe place! Also as the current strange era we are living in they are requiring you to wear a mask when you enter to help keep others safe! Overall it's a court house that you can tell has been here for many years and I must say it definitely was a positive experience coming here!

I took a handful of pictures and just stood there enjoying the silence and the sound of the water and wind gently blowing on the mildly warm summer day. It's not really that far out of the way if you wanna see a covered bridge. And when I went, there wasn't much traffic on the roads both to and from the bridge to the nearest freeway. I am curious on just how cool this would look during the winter...but I guess I will never know.

You will find this gem tucked away in the back corner of the Marion Cemetery. It was installed back…read morein 1896 by the Merchant family to mark the grave of their patriarch Charles Merchant. It consists of a large ball perched upon a stone plinth. The ball is made of Quincy black granite, which is not quarried anymore. The structure has smaller balls placed in a circular formation around it. Parking here is simple. You just pull up on the nearest driveway, stop and explore. The ball is polished to a shine with the exception of one spot. If you look closely, you will see a circular patch on the ball. That is where it originally made contact with the pedestal that it is sitting on. Rumor has it that the 5.2-ton ball has been slowly rotating somehow. Many have speculated the cause of the movement, including ghost, but there has not been a definitive explanation given to this day. The shifting was first noticed by the Merchant family who had the giant stone lifted by a crane and placed back in its rightful orientation in 1898. They also secured it with some tar. This is a neat unexplained phenomenon that is worth a visit if you are in Marion, just to say that you have seen it. Either way, do not go there thinking you will witness the ball revolving. It only moves a fraction of an inch a year. This memorial is not a large consumer of your time. I was there less than 5 minutes, so I recommend checking out the Harding Memorial, Veterans Memorial Park, the Merchant Memorial, and the Marion County Firefighter's memorial, The WWII Marion County Veterans Memorial, all with in a half a mile. Fun Fact: The structure was featured in "Ripley's Believe It or Not," in 1929 and there is a water fountain created in the likeness of the structure outside the" Ripley's Believe It or Not" Museum in Myrtle Beach.

I am a self-proclaimed presidential history nerd visiting from Texas. I've read a biography on…read moreevery president in order through Eisenhower, and my bucket list includes visiting where each was born and their final resting places. Of course, I also make it a point to visit presidential libraries, national historic sites, etc. I've visited dozens of locations across multiple states. THIS. PLACE. IS. INCREDIBLE. I broke my visit up into two days. Did the home tour one afternoon and the museum the next morning. Honestly, I recommend doing it that way; there is just too much otherwise. It was jaw-dropping to hear about the history of the home, Hayes' descendants who lived there so long, and the son who pushed for it to become a living monument to Hayes' life. With 95% of the home original to when Hayes lived there.... I'm not sure I've ever been to a location that can say that. From Lucy's sewing machine used to sew civil war uniforms...to beds made by prisoners in the Oriental Room...to the bed in which Rutherford and Lucy died ...the house tour is just breathtaking. Shout out to my tour guide, Bill Y., for being such a cool guy! The museum took me all of two hours to get through, and I skipped the temporary exhibits. Two solid hours if you read 75-85%. LOTS of information. But the artifacts will give you goosebumps: Hayes' Harvard diploma 1845 Hayes' Dress sword and scabbard from the war Hayes' .32 revolver 1864/65 Lucy's wedding dress The chair Hayes sat in during the inauguration. Bible on which he sworn his oath A ring containing George Washington's hair And that's just a few... The information on the contested election was perfectly clear and well executed. This place is no doubt one of the top five places I've ever been in my presidential history travels...up there with Monticello. I can't say enough...totally worth your time. Every time I visit a presidential history site... I am overwhelmed with gratitude for people like staff and volunteers at these museums. I'm grateful to all who had the foresight to preserve and maintain our history. Only negative: I thought the gift shop, although appearing full, lacked options.

Kids aged 6 - 12 are $5. They give discounts for military, AAA members and senior citizens, but sadly none for educators (seems this place would be perfect for U.S. history teachers). The grounds are beautiful, the history is interesting, the museum is jam packed with information (though a bit haphazardly arranged, along with some overzealous motion detection security on some of the larger items). Our tour guide for Rutherford's house (Dick) was lovely and very knowledgeable. Overall worth the money and an interesting stop on our whirlwind tour of America and all of its idiosyncratic history.
