Marshall Community Pool at Taber Park

About The Marshall Community Pool

When the Marshall family purchased Richardson Drug Store on Cross Street and moved to Urbanna in 1929, they came to stay. Their home was above the drug store and “Doc” Marshall was always available. Over the generations, Marshall’s Drug Store was successful financially. With that success, the family continued to invest back into the Town. That investment brought longstanding positive and generational quality of life to the community. Whether the Town needed a doctor, a prescription filled at 3 a.m., a plumber, an ace pitcher for the semi-pro Urbanna baseball team in the 1940’s, or funding to help Urbanna Oyster Festival through bad weather years, the Marshalls made these things, and more, happen. The Urbanna Town Council voted to name the community pool to honor those family members who have passed and to thank those that remain today continuing the family legacy.
