MORGAN COUNTY PREPARES TO CELEBRATE 200TH ANNIVERSARY
While Rockwood is preparing for its 150th anniversary, Morgan County will turn 200. Earlier this month, a group of local residents, under the organization of the Chamber of Commerce, met at the Visitor’s Center to brainstorm some ideas. Discussions ranged from talk of a fireworks display, to a parade, to working alongside Frozen Head State Park’s 50th anniversary. Talk arose about creating a special resolution to honor the day by the county commission and also legislation to go to the state. The group also wants to place a historic marker somewhere in the county to honor the milestone and consideration was also given to create a sculpture from stones made of the original county seat.
