History

Marys Home originally developed in the 1880s around the St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church.[3] The church and community are named after the Virgin Mary.[4] A post office was established as Mary's Home in 1884, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1918.[5]

The P.A. Sanning Store was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.[6]
