Dodona Manor is a National Historic landmark. Built in the first half of the 19th century, the house and the surrounding four acres are tangible reminders of a way of life that is rapidly disappearing in what is the third fastest growing county in the nation. It served as a place of repose for General Marshall and his family and was the backdrop to quiet conversations of international importance. It gives an opportunity, to see an early 19th structure interpreted to the mid 20th century lifestyle of a man with a remarkable legacy, and to walk around the grounds that Marshall loved.
