A Night at Heritage Hall

On March 28 and 29, 2014 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the Marion County Historical Society will present the 8th annual “A Night at Heritage Hall.” The event promises a “fun-filled” evening of self-guided flashlight tours throughout Heritage Hall, a historic 1910 Federal Post Office converted into a museum.

This year’s museum exhibit is the Civil War and many of the characters will be from that era. Visitors can expect to meet U.S. Grant; Annie Oakley; Lizzie the Marion Madam; former Ohio Governor John William Bricker; Victoria Woodhull, who ran against U. S. Grant for president in 1872; Mary Dennison Gailey, a child prodigy violinist; Chief Plenty Coups of the Crow Nation and many other local historic personalities.

Advance tickets are available at $7 per person for nonmembers and $3.50 for MCHS members. Send check or money order to Night at Heritage Hall, 169 East Church Street, Marion OH 43302 (be sure to specify which night).

Deadline for pre-registration is March 27.
