In 1976, Lorene (Reenie) Horton and others completed an inventory of town historic buildings and submitted an application for designation of the Morrison Historical District to the National Register of Historic Places. They also published a walking tour brochure and a “Memory Album” booklet that contained photos collected from town residents. We are in the process of updating our “Places” listing with information from that project. Gradually, we’re getting more of Morrison’s historic sites online, some with more current photos.
We’ve kept the original numbering scheme for the town sites, of course, but be aware that some addresses have changed since 1976. In the 1990s, the fire department renumbered many properties, and we’ve not yet cross-referenced them here. This information is presented mostly as it was written in 1976, with a few comments on more current building uses for reference.
As you explore Morrison, keep in mind that, other than the downtown business district, most of these properties are private residences. Click to enlarge the map below.
