During its 1923 legislative session, the West Virginia Legislature passed a bill (introduced by West Virginia State Senator Harry P. Henshaw of Bunker Hill) appropriating $5,000 toward a monument memorializing Morgan Morgan in Bunker Hill.
The bill was approved by West Virginia Governor Ephraim F. Morgan, a direct descendant of Morgan.
The bill stated that Morgan Morgan was "a man of high character who, by his efforts and example, was largely useful in the community of which he was the founder".
It also proclaimed that the monument to Morgan would "commemorate his life and deeds".
Half of the bill's appropriation was disbursed in 1924, and the other half was disbursed later in 1925.
The monument was to be located at or near Morgan's burial site at Morgan Chapel.
The bill stipulated that the monument would be planned and supervised by the Morgan Morgan Monument Commission, which was to consist of three members appointed by the Governor, who was to oversee the commission.
On the morning of January 2, 1924, Governor Morgan appointed the committee, which consisted of Haze Morgan, another direct descendant of Morgan and the commission's chairperson; Blanche M. Pickering (Mrs. A. A. Pickering) of Rowlesburg; and West Virginia State Senator Harry P. Henshaw of Bunker Hill.
The commission purchased a 1.05-acre (0.4 ha) lot for $420 for the construction of the monument in Bunker Hill.

The granite Morgan Morgan Monument was erected in 1924.
It was unveiled and dedicated during a ceremony held on September 13, 1924, and arranged by the Colonel Morgan Morgan Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) of Clarksburg, two local DAR chapters, and several Virginia DAR chapters.
Governor Morgan, who appointed and oversaw the monument's commission, was the principal speaker at the ceremony and delivered its chief address.
Governor Morgan also accepted the monument on behalf of the state of West Virginia.
Charles James Faulkner, former United States Senator from West Virginia, gave a speech about Morgan and the early history of Berkeley County.
The local students of Bunker Hill formed a chorus to perform at the ceremony.
The actual unveiling of the monument was performed by Morgan descendant Anna Mildred Morgan of the Colonel Morgan Morgan Chapter of the DAR.
A benediction was given by Morgan Chapel rector Rev. J. L. Oldham.
The Colonel Morgan Morgan Chapter of the DAR planted a tree near the monument at the conclusion of the dedication program.
In addition to the Colonel Morgan Morgan Chapter of the DAR, organizers of the dedication ceremony included Morgan Morgan Monument Commission chairman Haze Morgan and members Blanche M. Pickering and Harry P. Henshaw.
Several hundred attendees were present at the dedication ceremony, mostly from the immediate area, Clarksburg, Fairmont, and nearby communities in Virginia.
Also held in connection with the dedication was a family reunion of Morgan Morgan's descendants.

Later in 1924, the West Virginia Monuments Commission transferred the monument site to the West Virginia Road Commission because the Monuments Commission felt the Road Commission was better suited to maintain the monument due to its equipment.
Following its transfer to the Road Commission, the park added a tourist camp and became the first free public tourist attraction in the state of West Virginia.

The roadside park was occasionally utilized by local organizations for the hosting of events, including by the Rest Church of nearby Rest, Virginia.
