4. Hours of operation, Cost, & Accommodations
Unfortunately, accommodations are limited- the John Marshall House was built years before the awareness of wheelchair/special needs accommodations became so prevalent. If you have students who are wheelchair bound or have trouble getting around, the John Marshall House is probably not the right field trip for you. While beautiful in all its old fashioned elegance, the JMH is chalk full of old, winding stair cases and will limit those in need of accommodations.
Parking on the street is acceptable (granted it’s available), and there is also a parking lot located near by. Unfortunately, payment is required to park in the lot. Much like accommodations and parking, the restroom situation is among the limited.

6. Who is John Marshall? Why is he important to learn about?
“The most influential person to never become president.” “The Great Chief Justice” -Created the supreme court and helped shape Judicial Review as we know it today; “Marshall dominated the Court for over three decades and played a significant role in the development of the American legal system” GOVT.10: The student will demonstrate knowledge of the operation of the federal judiciary by: a) describing the organization, jurisdiction, and proceedings of federal courts; b) examining how John Marshall established the Supreme Court as an independent, co-equal branch of government through his opinion in Marbury v. Madison;
While learning about the three branches of government, specifically the judicial branch, it is imperative that students are able to recognize and describe the impact made my John Marshall. Hearing facts about him from outside sources (such as the JMH tour) will aid students in understanding just how much he influenced and contributed to our American legal system.
