The birthplace of cartoonist Jim Davis and actor James Dean, the city of Marion in Indiana is not only home to the Indiana Wesleyan University, but there are several other things for visitors and locals alike to see and do. For anyone who loves to spend a day strolling through beautiful gardens or having fun with outdoor recreation activities, Matter Park is a great choice for the entire family. Marion also has a number of museums and historic sites to explore as well, such as the Marion National Cemetery and the Quilters Hall of Fame.
