This is a neat little cottage that is tucked near the University Campus. It is an upscale bakery. They make all of the baked good daily. My favorite is the baklava. If you have not tried it before, be sure to try their sweet flaky pastry! There is limited parking.

This is a large park that over looks the Mississippi River. You can also see Illinois and Wisconsin from the bluff. The park is 164 acres. You can get a birds eye view of the lock and dam below on the Mississippi River. There are shelters you can reserve. Plus things you can use for free such as the picnic tables, playground equipment, grills, six tennis courts, viewing towers, restrooms, horseshoe pits and a band shell (for outdoor concerts).
This park is open year round and is free. Certain times of the year you can see the eagles on the bluffs.

The movie was great and now you can visit the baseball diamond yourself! You can visit the Langsing familyโs farm and see the field and house that was in the movie in 1989. You can go hit a few on the field with bats that are provided. There are two souvenir stands to purchase shirts and hats at the Concession Stand. A must is the โIs this Heaven? No itโs Iowa,โ saying on a shirt.

This grocery store is run by the Old Order Amish. They do speak English. The food is purchased in bulk and then repackaged into more manageable bags. I like to purchase pasta, nuts and spices here. They also have gravy mixes, that orange powdered cheese for macaroni (or popcorn), candy and cereal.
They are closed for German holidays. The gaslights give me a headache.

This is a unique gift shop that you can easily over look. It is in the heart of Marion behind the bus stop. You can get to it from the backside and they have free parking outside their doors. It is limited parking though. The store is bright and cheery. The decorative items are fun and brightly painted.
