Welcome to Morris, Minnesota
The Pomme de Terre River, which lies along the outskirts of Morris, is the perfect representation of our unique community. Maybe the French knew when they named it “Pomme de Terre” that they were creating a metaphor for our city’s combination of diverse cultures, world-class culture and down-to-earth agriculture and industry. Originally a small town on the prairie, Morris is currently home to a historic campus of the University of Minnesota, the Stevens County courthouse, a wealth of business and industry including a major health-care hub, manufacturing that serves a world-wide clientele, and a host of educational, recreational and social opportunities.
With the Pomme de Terre river flowing in Upper and Lower Pomme lakes, Morris boasts a growing network of hiking and biking trails, canoeing, fishing and boating options and numerous parks that hold campgrounds, picnic shelters, a skateboard park, athletic fields and more green than the eye can see. Ten acres of gorgeous flowers and shrubs at the horticulture gardens host master gardener classes, weddings, photographers seeking the perfect backdrop and countless visitors strolling the grounds spring through fall. The scenic outlook offers a view of Morris, the river and all the beauty nature provides in this scenic small city in the heartland.
