If East Marion could talk, what stories would it tell?

The East Marion Stories Project, a joint effort of the East Marion Community Association (EMCA) & Oysterponds Historical Society (OHS), was launched to engage residents of East Marion and—with their help—record audio interviews to document the history of the hamlet, including current and past residents and families, occupations, events, and artifacts before these invaluable memories fade and are lost forever.
