In the 1940's, Marian and her husband, Orpheus Fisher, moved to Danbury Connecticut. They bought a plot of land on Joe's Hill, and under Orpheus' guidence as an architect, built Marianna Farm, as well as a small studio where she could practice. As they had no children, they raised many pets, from goats to cats. Marianna Farm burned down at one point, and a one level ranch was built in its place. Marian lived in Danbury for the Last 50 years of her life.
