It is beautifully set up/maintained and a lot of subject for good photo shots. But if you look into your surroundings more, you will notice the Park has so many historical fixtures which is quite interesting. It was established 1818, so 200 years of history! The Little Red Popcorn Wagon is open Monday thru Saturday from 11am-2pm throughout the summer. Proceeds from popcorn sales benefit the United Way of Erie County. There are also free guided tours offers by Erie County Historical Society, check their website for more details. For me it was such an enjoying walk at 10 am admiring the flowers, the clock and some photo taking!

I grew up 20 minutes from here and knew it existed but had never been here (that I remember). To think how young some of these men must have been and that some probably were forced to fight and die away from their families is sad, as war always is. If we don't learn from history we are destined to repeat it.... The island is private another reviewer suggests driving around to look at the houses. There are signs everywhere asking not to do so.

More history in NW Ohio…read more It took me a while to appreciate the history of NW Ohio... what with the battle of Lake Erie occuring... in Lake Erie (woah), and this confederate cemetary here (which I only discovered a few years ago). The Black Swamp history. The glass city. The area may seem bland, but the history is there. There's not much that can be said about the cemetary... It's a cemetary. Not as large as Arlington, obviously. But it sure has an impact on you when you walk in. I'm glad for the photos another user has uploaded here. The cemetary is located on Johnson's Island out at the tip of Marblehead. You have to pay $1 to use the bridge to access the island, unless you can duck through the gate behind a resident islander (or know the code). Once on the island, don't just go to the cemetary... drive around and appreciate the amazing houses on the "inner circle" inlet. Pretty wild... And don't forget to stop at the Marblehead Lighthouse, then grab a bite at Netty's Chili Dogs. =)

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.

William Harding was the 29th President of the United States and long time Marion, Ohio resident…read more The Harding Memorial is the burial site of President Harding and his wife Florence. It is also known as the Harding Tomb. This is one of the last elaborate presidential tombs ever made. The memorial is managed by the Ohio Historical Society. The circular marble structure is reminiscent of something out of ancient Greece. It has no roof in an effort to honor President Harding's wish to be buried in a simple grave under a tree and the stars. The memorial is the work of Henry Hombostel and Eric Wood. It was completed in 1927, but due to President Harding being marred by personal controversies and scandals at the time of his death, the Memorial was not officially dedicated until 1931 by President Herbert Hoover. It costed $783,103, which is approximately $15.3 million. It stands about 53 feet tall and has a diameter of 103 feet. The memorial is across from the Marion Cemetery and has a small private parking lot. The grounds are immaculate. It has a lot of green space and a small round structure at the base of the memorial that has informational placards about President Harding, his wife and his presidency/life. The President and First Lady's crypts are fenced off so visitors can not go up to them. You can easily view them through the fence though. There is not much to see on the backside of the memorial except the structure itself. This is not a very long stop but could easily be coupled with other nearby attractions such as the Harding Library, the Marion Cemetery, and/or the Marion Veterans Park to maximize your time.
