Built in 1890 by the founder of Marathon, Captain Albion Shepard, and restored in 1994 by Russ Tidwell of Austin, Texas, Captain Shepards Inn now serves as Marathon’s ‘Truly Historic Destination.’ Marathon's elevation of 4,040 feet and its low humidity provide cool nights and surprising comfort in the shade on hot afternoons.The inn's large trees and inviting porches provide the perfect setting to enjoy a good book or engage in a pleasant conversation.

Captain Shepard's Inn has five large guest rooms, each with private bath and access to porches. There are two sitting rooms, a dining room and a kitchen. Television and telephone are available in the common areas. All bathrooms have shower/tubs. Inn guests have access to a washer and dryer.
