What it’s like
The place. Morrison is a small city in Gasconade County, Missouri, where most people know one another. Winters are cold and bring a fair amount of snow, while summers are hot. Rain falls often enough that the area feels wet for much of the year.
Work. Many residents work in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in local shops, or in the building trades. Work in the county has been slipping somewhat in recent years, so the local job market is quieter than it once was.
Things to do. Baileys Creek runs in or beside town, so it is easy to reach for a walk or an afternoon by the water. The Osage River, one of the better known rivers in the area, is a longer drive away. Research Cave, an archaeological site a short drive off, is worth a visit for those interested in the region's early history.
