The old and historic William Morris House is located at Carillon Historical Park in Dayton, Ohio. William Morris is a Revolutionary War veteran, who came to Montgomery County in 1806. He bought a 20-acre farm near Centerville in 1815 and moved into this house with his family. With no daughters in the family, they employed an African-American servant to help with the many domestic chores, a common practice at that time.

Interesting historical facts:

1. The first floor of the house was divided into three rooms.

2. William Morris married his second wife, Patsy Hillian, on October 5, 1831. The couple has a son in 1835 when Morris was 74 years old.
