Morgan Township hosts Easter egg hunt and historical presentation at new park

The Morgan Township Historical Society meeting held on April 12, 2025, focused on upcoming community events and local historical discussions. A key highlight was the anticipation surrounding a local author who is expected to release a book soon. The author hopes to have the books available for sale during his talk in May, which has generated excitement among attendees.

The meeting also announced several community events, including an Easter egg hunt, which will be the first event held at the new park and trail in the township. This event is set to engage families and children, with an invitation extended to those who may also participate in a long-standing Easter egg hunt organized by the Okeana Methodist Church.

In addition to community events, BJ Miller, a local historian, presented on the history of Morgantown, a ghost town that existed in the area for about 20 years before disappearing from maps by 1958. Miller shared insights into the town's location and its significance as a former route for travelers between Lawrenceburg and Oxford. He also showcased artifacts related to local history, including items donated by residents that reflect the township's past.

The meeting concluded with a call for community involvement and a reminder of the importance of preserving local history. The discussions highlighted the township's commitment to fostering community spirit through events and historical education.
