Marion County, Administrative county in Kentucky, US
Marion County extends across rolling hills and farmlands in central Kentucky, with Lebanon serving as its administrative center and main population hub.
The county, established in 1834, received its name from Francis Marion, a military officer who served during the American Revolutionary War.
Lebanon hosts multiple seasonal festivals throughout the year, where residents gather to celebrate local traditions with music, food, and community activities.
