January 15 – What is believed to have been the first organized church services in Marion County were held in 1820 when the Jacob Aye family provided a place of worship in their cabin located east of what is now Claridon. In 1823, a small Methodist Episcopal congregation erected a hewn log building northeast of Claridon and named it the “English Chapel” in reference to the many settlers in the area who had immigrated from England. The congregation continued to grow to 68 members in 1855 necessitating a larger building to be erected. Thirty years later, in 1885, the need for an even greater capacity center was apparent resulting in the construction of another building at the eastern edge of Claridon. It is still in use by the Claridon Global Methodist congregation which celebrated its 200th year of worship and service in 2020.

America 250-OH: Marion is a community-wide commemoration of the nation's 250th anniversary, co-led by Marion Community Foundation and Marion Area Convention & Visitors BureauionOhio to showcase the remarkable ways Marion has shaped the American story. Learn more at http://visitmarionohio.com
