In 1908 the Morgan City Grammar School (which encompassed seven grades, a principal, and two assistant teachers) became over-crowded, so the upper grades were taught on the second floor of city hall while the new school was being constructed.

Public Library
The Morgan City Public Library began in 1934 as a Women's Club Project. The City of Morgan City aided in funding the project along with many citizen donations. Doors to the library were officially opened on Thanksgiving afternoon in 1934; the original location was on the 100th block of Everett Street in Morgan City.In 1951, a tax was passed to construct the facility you see today. This library has since thrived within the community and is currently one of only four municipal libraries in the state of Louisiana.

Wilmore House
Wondering why the front of the Wilmore House does not face the street?When the home was constructed it was a corner lot that faced the street. As the community grew, the house remained facing the south.
