Look Inside
Our Auditorium is named in honor of Abigail "Daisy" Harding, sister of President Warren G Harding and wive of Ralph T. Lewis, who was a longtime Marion Women's Club Member.
The auditorium is home to "The Muses," an original bas relief sculpture by Hermon Atkins MacNeil, a noted professor at Cornell University. The sculpture was donated to the Women's Club from the Marion Public Library when the library moved from its original site on South Main St to its current location on East Center St.
Many renters choose to use this backdrop as the "focal point" for their table layout/setup.
