Marion County Historical Society on November 11, 2006
The Marion County Historical Society is also located on the grounds of the Mission Mill Museum. The society is located in a building that was originally the retail store for the Thomas Kay Woolen Mill. The society was founded in 1950 to preserve the Asahel Bush House, and has gone on to save the houses located here as well as the Dr. Luke A. Port House, also known as Deepwood.

The grounds of the Mission Mill Museum are well maintained and are quite scenic. These pictures show a group of Mallard ducks in the millrace, which flows through the grounds and appears here to look lake a natural stream.
