One of the greatest pleasures in life is to have visitors. That is why we are so glad to see you. We hope your stay with us is relaxing, refreshing and most of all fun.
Linden and Perry County is one of the most scenic places in our state and we invite you to enjoy it with us. If it is fishing, hunting, boating, canoeing, hiking, camping or in other words if you love the outdoors, you will fall in love with our town and county. All we ask is that you leave it in as good a condition as you found it.
We also are home to some of the finest people that you will ever meet. Treat them like you want to be treated, and you will have new friends for life. We have a saying here, "That if you wear out one pair of shoes here, you won't ever leave." I am a good example of that, having arrived here a stranger in 1971.
Again, enjoy your stay.
Jim Azbill
Mayor of Linden
Murals, multi-media art, clay tiles, storefronts, even the trash cans are art in downtown Linden! The Linden Arts & Historic District features over a dozen pieces of public art all created in response to the area's history and natural beauty. Most of the artwork was created in a 2009 summer-youth worker and employment program that was funded by the American Recover & Reinvestment Act. The program, which drew national media attention,
featured 11 resident artists & staffed 20 local youths, ages 14-24.
