Morrison Historic District
Jefferson County
Conceived and developed by George Morrison, the town was incorporated in 1872 by the Morrison Stone, Lime and Town Company.
A natural stopping place for those headed for the mines in South Park, Mt. Morrison, as it was known until 1950, also served tourists to the Red Rocks area and workers involved in quarrying the rich local deposits of building materials. The town developed quickly as a bustling middle class community, and many of the original homes and commercial buildings remain intact.
