Linden’s charming downtown district and Shiawassee River locale is everything
A short five-mile drive from Fenton sits the charming town of Linden. Linden’s story begins in 1835 after brothers Richard and Perry Lamb settled the land. 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!

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
