Welcome to Marion, NY

Overview

Marion is a small town of about 5,000 residents near the center of Wayne County, tucked between Williamson to the north and Palmyra to the south. Seneca Foods, a leading food processor that produces mainly canned, frozen, and bottled produce, is based here. The town contains two hamlets, one of which also is named Marion.


Essentials

The Marion Public Library is at 4036 Maple Ave. For groceries, Marion has a Shur Fine Food Mart. For supermarkets, there’s Breen’s IGA in Williamson to the north; Wegmans in Newark to the southeast; and Tops Friendly Market in Ontario to the northwest.



Recreation & Entertainment

The Marion Town Park is a nice place for outdoor activities. Canaltown Cinema is a first-run movie house in Macedon. Spencer Speedway, a race track, is in Williamson. Golf courses and farm markets also are in Macedon.



Transportation & Traffic

Route 21 is the main north-south highway in the Marion area. County Road 207 (Walworth-Marion Road) is the main east-west roadway. Don’t worry about traffic here.



Pros & Cons

Marion is quieter and more rural than some of its neighbors, such as Palmyra and Macedon, and much of the retail, restaurants and entertainment options are found in those communities, just a short drive away. Seneca Foods is a major employer in the region.
