What it’s like

The place. Morgan is a small city in Redwood County, Minnesota, where most homes are lived in by their owners and the typical home costs less than in much of the country. Residents are somewhat older than in many places, and household incomes run below the county's. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, while July brings warm days, and the year's moisture comes as a mix of rain and melted snow.

Work. Residents work mainly in schools, hospitals and social care, in manufacturing, in restaurants, hotels and entertainment, and in the building trades. Across Redwood County, some of the largest workplaces are Clayton, a manufactured home maker, Carris Health-redwood, a critical access hospital, and the Redwood Area School District. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and most people travel a moderate distance to work, with some working from home. Job numbers in the county slipped over the past year, and unemployment is higher than it was a year earlier.

Things to do. Fort Ridgely, a historic fort, is a short drive away. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Fort Ridgely State Park, a protected area with room for walking and time outdoors, and to Flandrau State Park, another protected area. Altermatt Lake is a lake within a longer drive as well.
