I've been through Morrilton tons of times while driving to Petit Jean Mountain, but I don't think I have ever really driven through the city. But I passed through there last week and had time to stop for a few pictures. Morrilton has a nice little downtown area, with a quaint little train station. Although the station doesn't see passengers, trains still do rumble through the town.
Morrilton was founded in the 1870s, and was made the county seat of Conway County in 1883 (why Morrilton is the seat of Conway County, and not nearby Conway is one of those mysteries of Arkansas). There is a good core of old buildings downtown, so I drove around and got a few pictures...
