DISCOVER LINN

Linn is a small city located in the scenic rolling hills of Washington County in northeast Kansas.

​

Founded in 1877, the railroad, pushing its way further into Washington County, passed through this section. A box car was placed at about the same location where the depot was later built. The station was called Summit because it was the highest point rail­road surveyors found on this branch of the Missouri Pacific. Later renamed to Linn, the city has built a rich history of business development, religious life, dairying, and community improvements, becoming a progressive hub.
