Rebuilding History at Marion Granger House Museum
The Granger House Victorian Museum near Marion faced a roof replacement after an Aug 10 derecho ripped through, damaging the main house and carriage house but sparing most interiors. Repairs may reach about 125000 though insurance helps. Volunteers, the Marion High School football team, and donors rallied to patch roofs, clear debris, and save belongings. Tours resume at 10 am–4 pm on Saturday for a $5 self guided visit as the Granger House Open Air Market returns outdoors with vendors and activities amid ongoing roadwork.
