Dine in a refurbished former Gulf station at the intimate Star Diner serving upscale contemporary cuisine. A bridge takes you to Blannahassat Island, home to Marshall High Studios, which makes its home in a 1925 former high school. The studios draw area artists to showcase their wares in media such as leather, pottery, painting, and even houses a yoga studio and massage therapist. The island hosts the Marshall Farmers’ Market every Sunday as well.
