Rooted in History

From the rock formations dating back more than 2.5 million years to the blazed treks of the Donner-Reed Party and Mormon emigrants in the 1840s, Morgan Valley was built on tradition and tenacity.

Whether weathered by erosion or adversity, you can trace their remarkable legacies today.

Historical

The ill-fated Donner-Reed Party encountered Utah’s rough terrain and jagged peaks in 1846; the start of their journey’s most challenging part. The transcontinental railroad linking the western U.S. stretched right through Morgan, too. Visit key markers in these journeys, and step into rural life in Morgan County.
