Morse, an early settler in Iowa, who kept journals which have been recently published by Cedar Creek Press. It was once a stop on the Burlington, Cedar Rapids and Northern Railway, later part of the CRI&P. It contains several houses and the Morse Community Club.

Every year the community hosts a 3 July celebration, which includes a parade, food, and fireworks.
