Historic Marshall tour features rectory home and local lore
The 1852 Gothic Revival rectory is highlighted in the Marshall tour along with notes on St. Mary Parish history. The piece traces Catholic services before 1842, church construction from 1851 to 1889, and artifacts from the American Museum of Magic, including Houdini items and Reginald Scot's The Discoverie of Witchcraft. It also covers the Cook Block and Seaman family shops now housing Northfield Mandolins, which expanded to two industrial spaces in 2018.
