Historic Landmarks:
The Marshall County Courthouse is the centerpiece of our Central Business District (CBD), and can be seen from almost any approach to the city. Construction of the building began in 1884 and was finished in 1886. In the mid 1970s a major renovation ensured the buildings future. Situated at the corner of Center and Main Streets, our Courthouse is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The Willard Mansion. This Edwardian-Georgian mansion is located near the CBD on West Main Street and is also listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The home was built in 1910 for LeRoy R. Willard, a local businessman. Right: located just east of the Willard Mansion, this grand old Gothic-Revival mansion is one of our most frequently photographed private homes.

Locally famous sculpture includes the set of bronzes, left, located in the pond at the Fisher Community Center. Third from left: the Elk's Club monument at Riverside Cemetary. Far right: A relatively recent addition to Marshalltown's landmarks, this Vietnam-era F-4C Phantom is located on the American Legion Grounds on South 6th Street. The fighter was flown by local resident Joe Latham, and is now a memorial to all veterans.

The log cabin located in Riverview Park. This historic structure is used for family reunions, company picnics, church parties, and other activities year-round. The structure, owned and managed by the city can be rented through our Parks and Recreation Department.
