What it’s like

The place. Morristown is a small town in Shelby County, Indiana, home to a modest number of residents at the last count. Residents tend to be somewhat older than the typical American, and most homes are lived in by their owners. Few adults hold a four-year degree, and the town has more people living below the poverty line than many places, though it sits in a county where household incomes are comfortable. Winters are cold, with a fair amount of snow, and summers turn warm, with plenty of rain and melted snow through the year.

Work. Residents work mostly in manufacturing, in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in town are Freudenberg-NOK General Partnership, which makes gaskets and sealing devices, Riverview, a convalescent home, and Morristown Express, a long-distance trucking company. Commutes are on the longer side, and some people work from home. Unemployment in the county has stayed low, and the number of jobs has barely changed from the year before.

Things to do. Close to home, the Riley Birthplace and Museum is a short drive away, and Nameless Creek, a river, is also nearby. For a longer drive, Indianapolis offers the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, a race track known around the world, and The Children's Museum of Indianapolis, one of the best known of its kind.
