May 20, 2015

Baessler Homes has a new community to offer to buyers east of Greeley in the area around Ft. Morgan, Blue Sky Reserve.  This beautiful country side boasts wide open spaces and country living at its best. Blue Sky Preserve Blue Sky Preserve, located 2 miles north of Fort Morgan, Colorado on Hwy. 52, with south facing slopes surrounded by about 250 acres of open space. The open space consists of lakes, ponds and native grasses for the enjoyment of all lot owners. Deer, fish, geese, ducks, foxes, pheasants and other wildlife call this open space home. The community's high elevation overlooks the South Platte River valley and spectacular blue sky vistas. Blue Sky Preserve is located near the town of Ft. Morgan, which is the county seat for Morgan County. Ft. Morgan was established in 1865 along the Overland Trail to protect emigrants and supplies going to and from Denver and the mining districts. The fort was renamed in 1866 by General John Pope for one of his staff, Colonel Christopher A. Morgan, who had died earlier that year. The fort closed in 1868 after being used by 19 different companies from 11 cavalry and infantry regiments. Ft. Morgan City Hall This community is rich in history and has wonderful old buildings as part of its architecture.  Lincoln School at 914 State Street is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the location of the School for the Performing Arts. Another fun fact: Fort Morgan is the boyhood home of Big Band musician Glenn Miller. Miller went to high school in Fort Morgan and was known to have once played trumpet on top of Abner S. Baker School, since destroyed in a fire and now rebuilt.
