This is a tribute cache to Richard Fox, the
Marion Parks and Recreation Director that approves all the Marion
caches that get placed. He has never said no to Team Marion, so we
felt this cache was long overdue.
Marion History
The community was named after Francis Marion, who was a hero of the
Revolutionary War. The area was selected in 1839 to be the first
county seat of Linn County, Iowa. After years of debate over moving
the county seat to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, it was put to a vote in
1919. The vote was 9,960 in favor of moving the seat and 4,823 not
in favor.
Marion Parks and Recreation
The Marion Park and Recreation Department is responsible for 16
city parks, Oak Shade Cemetery, the Lowe Park Arts and Environment
Center, Willowood Pool and the Boyson Hiking-Biking Trail. The
Marion Park and Recreation Department also offers many recreational
and cultural opportunities for everyone in the area.
