Morton History

The Morton History Project launched in 2018 to document people and places from Morton, Illinois' history.  Made possible by a grant from the Morton Community Foundation, the Morton Chamber of Commerce collected oral and written histories of Morton community members to catalog and share in partnership with the Morton Community Library.

This collection is a sampling of the stories that could be told.  We know there are countless others with stories to tell.  We hope this project will inspire any and all to document, record and tell your stories for future generations to see.  The stories matter.
