A hidden piece of Morgan Township's history is sparking renewed interest among local historians. During the recent Morgan Township Historical Society meeting, members discussed the search for the remnants of a long-gone house, believed to be linked to the Esterbrook family, which once thrived in the area.

The meeting revealed that while the house itself is no longer standing, its foundation may still be located nearby. Efforts are underway to locate this site, alongside remnants of a mill that reportedly still exist along the creek. The Esterbrooks, described as unique individuals by local historians, have left a lasting impression on the community, with anecdotes shared about their kindness, including a story of a boy taking pie home in his pocket.

Historical maps from 1875 and 1895 were showcased, highlighting significant landmarks such as the Society of Shakers and the Shroyer Farm, which belonged to the family of John Fagley, a key figure in the township's history. The meeting emphasized the importance of preserving these stories and artifacts, as they provide valuable insights into the township's past.

As the society continues its quest to uncover more about the Esterbrooks and other historical figures, the community is encouraged to engage with these efforts, ensuring that Morgan Township's rich heritage is not forgotten.
