Lon Morris College, located in Jacksonville, Texas, approximately 115 miles southeast of Dallas, was a private two-year Methodist institution that operated from 1873 until its closure in 2012. The 100-acre campus featured traditional red-brick academic buildings and residence halls in a small-town setting. As the oldest two-year college in Texas, Lon Morris primarily offered associate degrees with notable programs in fine arts, particularly theater and dance, while maintaining a competitive junior college athletic program that participated in NJCAA Division I sports. The college provided on-campus housing in several dormitories until financial difficulties led to the institution filing for bankruptcy and permanently closing after 139 years of operation.
