Marion Square, Public park in downtown Charleston, US
Marion Square spans ten acres, featuring expansive lawns, mature oak trees, paved pathways, and multiple monuments at the intersection of Meeting and Calhoun Streets.
The land held military significance in the 1750s with the Horn Work fort construction, which served as Charleston's defense point during the 1780 siege.
The central portion of Marion Square functions as a designated parade ground for the Sumter Guards and Washington Light Infantry military organizations.
The park hosts the Charleston Farmers Market every Saturday morning from April through November, offering fresh produce, crafts, and food vendors.
A preserved cornerstone from 1858 contains a Fort Moultrie cannonball, a funeral banner, and a lock of statesman John C. Calhoun's hair.
