It may not be the most exciting thing to see, but there is this niche museum.
Picturesque garden. Garfield Statue since Marion was the home of Jim Davis. Christmas Light display during the Holiday season.
Where the Hollywood icon/idol was laid to rest, with dream rocks and things still left by his admirers.
More James Dean stuff, e.g. his leather jacket and Indian motorcycle.
Large repository of James Dean memorabilia, plus other items pertaining to the history of the larger Marion area. James Dean is a big deal in Fairmount because, though he was born in Marion and temporarily moved to California, it's where he grew up after moving back at age 9 to live on his aunt and uncle's farm and also where he is buried. And not just James Dean, but Garfield creator Jim Davis also hailed from a farm here.
