The John Marshall House is famous for being the home of “the greatest man never to be President” for forty-five years. Known as the “Great Chief Justice,” John Marshall is best remembered for turning the Supreme Court into an influential and respected branch of the United States Government.

Visitors can enjoy a guided tour of the house, take a stroll through the beautifully maintained garden, explore the modern museum shop, or even try their hand at the game of quoits, which was John Marshall’s favorite game.
