== History ==
A Quaker from North Carolina, Martin Marmon moved to west-central Ohio from Kentucky in 1805 with his two brothers and their families;〔 they were the first settlers in Jefferson Township after Isaac Zane,〔 who had married into the Shawnee people then living in the area. This emigration was typical of southern Quakers, who moved north in large numbers to escape the slavery system of the South. Their new home was close to the territory of the Shawnee, being only a short distance south of the Greenville Treaty Line. Ten years after moving north,〔 Martin bought the land on which he had settled from his brother Robert,〔 who lived a short distance to the east.〔Barber, Rachel. ''Ohio Historic Inventory Nomination: Robert Marmon House''. Ohio Historical Society, February 1984〕 On this land he built the brick house in which he lived for the rest of his life.〔
The Martin Marmon House was the residence of a leading individual of the day. After Logan County was organized from Champaign County in 1818,〔Perrin, William Henry, and J.H. Battle. ''(History of Logan County and Ohio )''. Chicago: O.L. Baskin, 1880. Accessed 2009-10-29.〕 Marmon occupied many civic offices in the new county: treasurer of Jefferson Township for twenty-five years, treasurer of Logan County for four years,〔 and county sheriff for five years.〔 The Marmon brothers were also religious pioneers: they founded the Goshen Meeting of Friends in 1807, which as Goshen Friends Church remains the oldest church in what is now Logan County.〔
After Martin's death, his farm was sold to David Springate, an Englishman from Kent, who settled there in 1864. At that time, the farm included of land.〔 Today, the house is part of Marmon Valley Farms,〔 a Christian farm and retreat center. It was last used as a residence in 1971.〔 In 1984, the Marmon House was included in the Ohio Historic Inventory survey,〔Barber, Rachel. ''Ohio Historic Inventory Nomination: Martin Marmon House''. Ohio Historical Society, May 1984〕 and it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1986. It is one of four houses in Logan County that is on the Register.〔
