The red, white and blue stripes of a circus tent add a colorful touch to the room which houses many antique popcorn machines plus an informative display about the Brown family and the Wyandot Popcorn Company. Wyandot was founded during the depression to supplement farming income. The company is still family owned and based in Marion, Ohio but now it manufactures snack foods under private store labels and sells it’s products wholesale rather than retail. Visitors receive a fresh box of popcorn as they leave the museum. The popcorn museum is part of the Marion County Historical Society museum which has a gallery with local history and another with memorabilia from Warren G. Harding’s presidency.
The museum is accessible. A ramp on the east side of the building leads to an entrance with a button to push for admittance. The basement level where the Harding display is located is accessed by an elevator.
Parking, roomy enough for RVs, is at the rear of the museum. Follow the walkway between the buildings if you need to use the ramp. Museum
