MARION, Iowa -- In the heart Marion Square Park is old Railroad Depot. It was built in 1888.

The railroad has played a vital role in the community for over a century. While the Railroad no longer goes through Marion, the depot still serves as a central gathering spot for the community.

All through the summer month’s crowds gather to hear great food and hear local musicians.
