​A Village in the beautiful



Butternut Valley.

Morris was founded in 1870, not long after the end of the Civil War.  In 2020 we will celebrate 150 years of peaceful living.  Let's all work together to make the next 150 years as good as the last.

On this site you can find information about the government of the village including the mayor and trustees, the division of public works, and the village water system.
