Without friendly people, high standards and values, the feeling of being in a small town is not present. Aesthetics and community attitudes come together to establish the identity of Morristown. Along with the community values and attitudes come the residents' places of worship. Morristown residents are fortunate to have five churches in their small town. The community churches are relatively small and community oriented.
Churches play a role within any small town serving as an indicator of the community's values.
One of the most visible physical traits that provides a unique character to Morristown are the gas lights. Lighting in Morristown is placed at a human scale, making the sidewalks comfortable for the pedestrian, even when walking near a major state road. The old gas lamps remind us of a simpler time in which small town characteristics were found even in the big city. These gas lamps provide the unique trait that separates Morristown from any other small town in Indiana. Morristown over the years has maintained its small town character despite its close proximity to Indianapolis.
