Morrisvistorsguide by Stevens County Times

Welcome to Morris! Welcome to Morris, Minnesota! Whether you are here for a short visit, an extended stay, or considering relocating to our prairie community, this guide will give you a feel for the personality of Morris and will provide you with a sample of the many things we have to offer.

A vital city with small town convenience, Morris boasts diverse industries, and sustains exceptional educational, cultural, and recreational resources. Cultural life in Morris rivals that of much larger cities. The University of Minnesota Morris Performing Arts Series and annual Jazz Festival bring nationally acclaimed musicians, dance companies, and theater groups to Morris each year. A main street art gallery, thriving high school and college artistic disciplines and our annual community talent show display the creativity of our local population.

All four seasons offer rich opportunities for fun and relaxation. You can enjoy everything from cross-country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter, to golfing at our 18-hole course, getting fit on our walking / biking trails, or taking a peaceful trip down the Pomme de Terre River in the warmer seasons.

We have five acres of unique public Horticultural Gardens, located at the West Central Research and Outreach Center, and an award winning “Children’s Garden” – the first themed children’s garden in Minnesota dedicated to providing horticulture and agriculture education opportunities to children of all ages. We have a federal research laboratory, excellent educational opportunities from early childhood through University, and our city is clean, well-maintained, and constantly improving.

Morris abounds with comfortable neighborhoods and tree-lined streets; restored historic homes are shaded by majestic elms; and new neighborhoods offer modern residential designs. Our many parks are well-groomed, our transit system efficient, and our housing affordable.

We’re glad you’re here and we hope you’ll stay!

A Little History Morris began as little more than a resting stop on the “Wadsworth Trail,” the supply route between St. Cloud, Minnesota and Fort Wadsworth – a military outpost on the northeastern edge of South Dakota. By the 1870s, the railroad moved through and the village of Morris, with its design and economy shaped by the demands of that industry, was officially born. Over time, homesteaders settled and broke the rich prairie sod. Soon, this small railroad town and county seat grew into a regional center with retail and service industries fed by the farm economy. The city was platted in 1869, then incorporated as a village February 21, 1878, and as a city in 1902. Morris was named in honor of Charles A. F. Morris, who was connected with the engineering departments of several railroads, among them being the Manitoba and the Northern Pacific. Morris became the county seat on February 3, 1872. The first building was postmaster Henry B. Wolff's general store, where the post office was established in 1871, moving from John B. Folsom's farm at Pape de Terre (1870-71). From these humble beginnings, Morris became a center for government and public agencies. A boarding school was estab¬lished and run by the Catholic Sisters of Mercy for the Native Americans in the late 1880s. The U.S. government took it over in 1897, and in 1909 gave the property to the State of Min¬nesota. In 1910, the West Central School of Agriculture opened on that property, allowing farm youth to get a high school education and still be available for farm work in the spring and fall. In 1959 it became a four-year liberal arts college: the University of Minnesota, Morris (UMM), which is now recognized as one of the best public liberal arts colleges in the United States. Today, numerous federal government agencies reside in Morris including the U.S. Department of Agriculture, North Central Soil Conservation Research Laboratory, Farm Service Agency, Natural Resource Conservation Service, and the U.S. Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service. There is a Minnesota State Department of Transportation District office in Morris, Stevens County Highway Department, and modern public school and medical facilities facility.

Agriculture Morris is surrounded by some of the richest agricultural lands in the country and agribusiness is a major contributor to the local economy. Local dairy and beef producers are among the largest in the country. For instance, Riverview is the largest dairy milking operation in Minnesota and ranked as one of the largest in the United States. Wulf Cattle Farms has one of the best know registered Limousin breeding operations in the nation.

The area’s agriculture has been advanced by the research conducted through federal and state agricultural research facilities that are internationally known for their expertise on soils, crops and animal husbandry. The federal USDA-ARS Research Laboratory and the state West Central Research and Outreach Center both offer public tours showcasing their research of new methods in agriculturally related fields. In addition there are several private crop breeding research sites in the immediate area, and other agricultural-related businesses. Local dairy, beef, and swine operators are among the largest in the nation. Morris is a state leader in developing green energy using byproducts from agriculture and other natural resources. UMM is one of the first public colleges to generate on-site renewable power from local resources: a biomass gasification plant fueled by corn cobs from nearby farms generates steam to heat campus buildings; solar thermal panels collect the sun’s energy to heat swimming pool water at the local fitness center, and two wind turbines tower over the city providing 70 percent of the electrical needs for the campus. The West Central Research and Outreach Center likewise is on the cutting edge, using one of two turbines on site to help their researchers study how wind energy can be used to electrolyze water, which creates hydrogen, effectively “storing” wind energy for future use.

WCROC Gardens

The West Central Research and Outreach Center features the illustrious University of Minnesota Horticulture Display Gardens. Drawing thousands of visitors each growing season, the garden features more than five acres of beautiful public gardens. From the spectacular annual and perennial display gardens to the collections of plants developed specifically for cold northern climates to the display and childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gardens, there is something for the entire family. Every year the WCROC hosts the annual Horticulture Night. Held on the last Thursday in July, Hort Night offers an opportunity for the community to come and learn more about the gardens and the programs it has for the betterment of the environment.

A recent addition to the area is the new scenic overlook. Built in 2006, the scenic overlook integrates the city of Morris bike/walking trails with a new trail system into the gardens. This area will act as an interpretive station to show the connections between the horticulture and agriculture in the Morris area. The Display Garden is located at the WCROC one mile east of Morris on Highway 329. 29

Wetlands Abundant Hunting and Fishing Morris is well-known as a quality location for goose, duck, and pheasant hunting. Part of the famous prairie pothole region, there are many marshes and shallow lakes in the area that serve as breeding and migration habitat for waterfowl. Grassy fields, cattail sloughs, and field edges provide habitat for some of the best pheasant hunting available. Each autumn, at area motels, restaurants, and sporting goods stores, camouflage or orangeclad hunters take advantage of local hospitality as they use the Morris area as a hunting destination. Over 10,000 acres of federal land called waterfowl production areas and another 5,000 acres of state-owned wildlife management areas in Stevens County provide both wildlife habitat and a place where hunters are welcome. Besides pheasants and waterfowl, hunters in the Morris area can pursue deer, turkey, grey partridge, doves, rabbits, and other species. Fishermen come to Morris too in pursuit of walleyes, northern pike, large-mouthed bass, and panfish.

Birding and Wildlife There is more to enjoy about wildlife than just hunting and fishing. Bird watchers can enjoy a great array of prairie birds: from clamoring flocks of tundra swans and other waterfowl to bobbing shorebirds probing the mud of area wetlands to diminutive prairie sparrows singing their breeding songs. In early spring, birders willing to awaken before the sun can hear the ancient and mystical call of prairie chickens booming on their leks. The marshes contain secretive rails and bitterns and the sky above is a place to look for prairie hawks. This is the land of the wetland and grassland specialist birds, a place where eastern birds transition to western birds, a place where birders can find great birds in a great community.

Wetlands continues on page 39

prairie clovers and purple coneflowers of summer transition to the robust sunflowers and multi-hued asters in the fall. Whether you like to hunt, fish, hike, watch wildlife, identify unusual prairie flowers, or take a hike on a rural country road, Morris is a great outdoor recreation destination.

Natural Beauty As lovely as any bird, the gorgeous prairie flowers can still be found on a few precious remnants of the once abundant tallgrass prairie near Morris. Morris is a place where you can take your time with a field guide in hand and see beauty no book can describe. Yellow sunflowers, purple blazing stars, and orange lilies. Flowers on the prairie come and go through the rhythm of the season; prairie violets and delicate, soft blue pasque flowers bloom in early spring and then give way to prairie smoke and coreopsis.
