What it’s like
The place. Weldona is a small community in Morgan County, Colorado, where residents are a very small group who tend to know one another. Its quiet character sets it apart from the larger towns around it. The town's own figures show how modest its size is compared with most places in the state.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in shops, in manufacturing, or in the building trades. These jobs are common across the region, and they reflect the mix of services and skilled trades that keep the area running. Work here is often close to home for those who live in the community.
Things to do. Jackson Lake State Park, a protected area a short drive away, offers a place to spend time outdoors. Kiowa Creek, a river also a short drive away, is another nearby spot for a quiet afternoon. Fort Morgan, a fort a longer drive away, suits a fuller day out.
