Officially established in 1871, the present-day downtown area consists of pre-civil war era buildings, tree-lined streets, and brick sidewalks. The Linden Mills buildings’ roots date back to this time, and they sit adjacent to the Shiawassee River.

Across the way, the picturesque Linden Mill Pond Gazebo is a popular spot for locals as it’s the location of many annual events and live music. Flanked with wildlife, wildflowers, and history, there’s so much to see in Linden!
