The Marine Corps Legacy Museum, located on the town square in Harrison (Boone County), opened on November 10, 2001, the 226th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps. Exhibits throughout the museum depict the history of the Marine Corps from 1775 to the present. The museum staff also provides educational outreach programs to local students. Today, it is one of only two U.S. Marine museums in the United States not located on a military base. Its location makes U.S. Marine history more accessible to non-military personnel.
