Marathon Area Historical Society

        The Society was formed in Oct. 2002 to discover, procure, and preserve whatever shall relate to the natural, civil, literary and ecclesiastical history of the town of Marathon and the surrounding area, and to establish and maintain collections of art and archeology for future generations.  To this end, the society is trying to establish a permanent residence or museum to house these relics.
