The Marion County Jail is located in the City of Fairmont, West Virginia

Current plans for the Marion County Jail include maintaining the outside of the building, including the bars. The interior of the building will be used for required storage. But, several of the cells are to be used as part of the Marion County Museum; telling the history of what has happened in the jail.

The only money for restoration received so far is one grant for repair of the roof.

For those desiring to help restore the roof, a special fund is being set up by the Marion County Commission.
Any questions regarding the restoration should be directed to:
