Welcome to Morris

Welcome to Morris – a charming I & M canal town with lively events and festivals, a collection of boutiques and specialty shops, a mix of both locally owned and nationally recognized restaurants, and year-round outdoor recreation. Nestled an hour southwest of Chicago, Morris is where day and weekend travelers connect to nature, recharge in our downtown, and make memories for a lifetime.

Morris is also a destination for business. Our industrial and commercial corridors offer speed to market, with access to Route 6, Route 47 and Interstate 80, Class I railroads, the Illinois River, and a municipal airport. Our business-friendly climate makes Morris an attractive place to start up or grow your operation.

Whether you’re here for a day or for life, we’re sure you’ll agree that there’s more to Morris!
