New Site Content in 2025

As of June 11, 2025, each of our 70 historic sites has its own page, linked from the Places page, and we are in the process of adding comparable 2025 photos to many of them. Please let us know if you spot any errors.


The first four months of this year have been a flurry of activity here at MorrisonHistory.org. Engagement of a few new people bodes well for the year and leads us to expect more content and more voices as the year proceeds.

Site content comes in two forms: “posts” like this one, which are dated and listed in chronological order with the newest on top. Posts generally deal with single topics, general summaries, or stories about people and places. “Pages,” which are more fixed, form the underlying structure of the site. The top menu is made up of pages, and all of the “Place” descriptions are on pages.

We’ve published 21 new posts since the beginning of this year, for a total of 48 published posts. Several more are in progress, and we have a long list of topics we hope to cover. To help you access any posts of interest, we’ve listed them by category. Note that many posts appear in more than one category.

As of this writing, we also have 67 published pages; most are of individual historic sites, or Places. We’ve recently added 38 new pages for the historic sites, bringing our total to 50 out of the 70 sites listed in the Morrison Historic District. Most contain photos from the 1976 historic documentation as well as repeat photos taken in 2000. Many also have historic photos. Please visit the Places page for links to each site to see how much— or how little— Morrison has changed over the years.

If there are topics or places you’d like to hear more about, please let us know in the comments. We appreciate your interest and look forward to hearing from you!

About This Website

This site, as most of you may have noticed by now, is managed only sporadically. We have tried to keep these stories accessible since the first Morrison history website was developed in 1998, and it has been through many incarnations along the way.  That original site was part of the larger town website back when the Morrison Heritage Museum was functioning (about 1993-2003). You can still explore parts of that site on the Internet Archive, aka the Wayback Machine. That link is a cookie-crumb trail for you at least, and we’re in the process of moving that older content over here, as well as posts from 2009-2010 that have been on a separate blog.  

Until we finish reorganizing the contents here, the best way to find things is to search for them using the box in the left sidebar.

Former residents and descendants often leave comments, and you are welcome to do so. Sometimes you can get a good conversation going, with me (Sally) or with others who may answer. If you need a prompt answer, however, please contact the Town office for referral (303.697.8749). Although the Morrison Historical Society is no longer active, we will try to connect you to information.

Note that the Morrison Historical Collection at Jeffco Archives is also a resource; contact Ronda Frazier for access.

“Recent” Additions

In the interests of consolidation, we’ve moved some posts here that were included on a blog site that’s no longer in use, as well as pages from the original version of the Town’s history website.

For your convenience, here are links to older posts from this millenium (with original posting dates), collected under the category “good times.”

A few additions are of older historical significance. Be advised that the name index and pioneer genealogies need work and are incomplete.

We’re Changing Things UP!

Our new online home address is MorrisonHistory.org, but still right here! Please update any links or bookmarks you may have. We’ll be getting a new look soon as well, and filling you in on the exciting new developments taking place in Morrison History.

Stay tuned!
