Morrison Grave Marker Reflects Southern Illinois Pioneer
In Kaskaskia State Park near Garrison Hill two marble slabs mark the second burial place of William Morrison, a leading 19th century fur trader and land speculator. Morrison built the Morrison Mansion, hosted Lafayette, helped make St Louis a fur hub, and sponsored the Santa Fe Trail venture. He owned slaves and appeared as next of friend in court records. The marker and nearby Menard home recall a vanished town and a legacy of river-driven changes.
