In 1976, during our Country's Bicentennial and Marion's Sesquicentennial, Marion planned and carried out a program for each month. The project for February was the opening of the Marion Museum. At this time the two front, upstairs rooms facing Marion's Main Street were completely renovated and arranged with many interesting displays and exhibits. Since that time A Country School Room, A Heritage Room, Country Kitchen have been added. In September 2002 another larger room and anteroom has been added. Some things high-lighted in this last museum room is a quilting display and an interesting collection of games and toys of the past arranged around the fireplace. Senior Exercise Regimen Pass this along to your senior friends. For those getting along in years, here is a little secret for building arm and shoulder muscles. Three days a week works well. Begin by standing outside behind the house, and with a 5-lb. potato sack in each hand ... extend your arms straight out to your sides and hold them there as long as you can. After a few weeks, move up to 10-lb. potato sacks and then 50-lb. potato sacks, and finally get to where you can lift a 100 lb. potato sack in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. Next ... start putting a few potatoes in the sacks, but be careful not to overdo it. Advertisement from years past: Amazing new discovery!
