Mount Morris is best known for the enormous Letchworth State Park – there’s an entrance to the park in Mount Morris – and for the Mount Morris Dam, which was built to tame the Genesee River from flooding the lower Genesee Valley.

Local Museums & Landmarks
The Mount Morris Dam, used to control water flowing on the Genesee River, is said to be the largest dam of its type in the eastern United States. A unique attraction in Mount Morris is the Livingston Arts Center, which serves as a permanent home for a large collection of Works Progress Administration paintings which were created under a Depression-era program. A second gallery features the work of local artists. The Mills Mansion, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, is the home of Mount Morris Historical Society. Letchworth State Park, of course, is an attraction unto itself. Along with the historic district, several buildings in Mount Morris also are on the National Register of Historic Places, including several houses and churches and a 1930s Art Deco movie theater.
