Our year-long celebration is structured around four mutually supportive pillars that ensure continuous public engagement as we highlight Marion’s contributions to the American story.
The Core Pillars of America 250 Marion are Storytelling to amplify Marion’s Narrative, Trails, Tales, & Treasures, monthly journeys to local points of interests along themed trails, program integration through grant funding made possible through Marion Community Foundation, and Red, White & YOU Capstone Weekend, a signature four-day event July 16-19, 2026.
