About Vernon

Tucked into the farmland of northern Marion County, Vernon is a quiet village with roots as a 19th-century railroad stop. Sitting right along U.S. 51, it offers a peaceful rural setting with an easy commute to nearby towns like Patoka and Vandalia. It is a low-key community surrounded by open fields, giving residents plenty of space while keeping them connected to the region's local jobs and energy industry.
