Linn is a small, unincorporated community in Sunflower County, Mississippi. Being "unincorporated" means it's not an official town or city with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county area.

Linn is easy to find because it's located right on Mississippi Highway 442. If you travel about 6 miles (10 km) east, you'll reach Doddsville. If you go about 3 miles (5 km) north, you'll find Steiner.

Exploring Linn's History

Linn might be small, but it has a past! Like many communities, it likely grew around farms or a crossroads.

One important part of Linn's history is its school. The Linn Consolidated Schools building was a central place for kids in the area to learn. It operated for many years, from 1923 until 1967. This shows how communities like Linn worked together to provide education for their children.

Community Life

Even without a city government, communities like Linn often have places where people gather. Churches are usually important centers for social life and support. The Linn Methodist Church, located just off Highway 442, is an example of such a place.
