The Lincoln Theatre was opened in 1929 and its history is quite fascinating. My friends live in…read moreMarion and wanted me to see the local offerings. We went into the theater shop midday and they asked the lovely woman running the theater if we could have a tour? She was in the middle of getting ready for that night's Rocky Horror Picture Show, but in true sweet Southern hospitality, cheerfully let us in so we could look around and she could talk to us about the establishment. The theatre was lovingly restored in the 1980s by locals who turned it into a nonprofit. PBS broadcasts its Song of the Mountains show here monthly. The woman we spoke to was working on grants to bring in movies and other performances to the theater. It would be a great venue for all of the above. As I had an early flight home the next day, we didn't come back to see the show, but I truly believe this is a gem to be checked out in Marion.

This little library is a small branch of the main branch Alexander county Library in Taylorsville,…read morebut is much more convenient and accessible to the people who live just near the county line like we do! They have a great selection for being as small as they are. They also have useful community resources, computers and printing starting at .10 cents a page for black and white! The librarian (Glenda) is SUPER sweet, kudos to her for setting up and supervising several events with my child's school and continually encouraging young lives to read. You can tell she has a passion for what she does! I highly recommend this branch, I can honestly say I love it even more than the larger branch in Taylorsville!
