Welcome to The official web site of the Maroa Sesquicentennial celebration. There will be a variety of events celebrating the 1854 founding of the town what will climax September 17, 18, 19, 2004 on the streets of Maroa.
This page highlights some of the unique items that we discovered in the Centennial yearbook. We will be including some of these into the sesquicentennial book that will be published in 2004. You can order a copy here.
Notice how to contact El-Roa Inn- you dial 18! Also notice there is no Zip Code for the address.
How interesting. There was a Hatchery that sold chickens in Maroa! And below a Popcorn farm! Maybe Orville Redenbacker started in Maroa?
