The Morgan Township Historical Society meeting held on April 12, 2025, focused on the preservation and historical significance of the local railroad depot. Key discussions included the current state of the depot and its surrounding area, particularly the existing railroad track, which is now limited to a single line.
Members noted that the track is built up, with remnants of old railroad ties still visible, indicating the historical importance of the site. Visual aids, including photographs of the depot and the iconic Okeanna sign, were shared to illustrate the area's heritage. The Okeanna sign, a notable artifact, is currently displayed in the local museum, emphasizing the community's commitment to preserving its history.
The meeting highlighted the need for continued efforts in maintaining and promoting local historical sites, ensuring that future generations can appreciate the rich history of Morgan Township. Further discussions on potential preservation initiatives and community engagement are expected in upcoming meetings.
