8. Linn County Historical Museum $100k for LBP Former Linn County Jail Not-for Profit converting to museum Linneus is located in an economically depressed area of northern Missouri and has a population of 369 people. The Linneus Historical Society has successfully restored a number of buildings in the community and would now like to turn the former jail, currently contaminated by asbestos and lead based paint at levels unacceptable for public use, into a museum and office for the Society. Located just a few miles from the General John J. Pershing Boyhood Home State Historic Site, Pershing State Park and the Locust Creek Covered Bridge State Historic Site, the Society hopes to capitalize on and enhance the historical tourism in the area. The goal is to provide enough attractions in the area to justify over night stays by their visitors, thus spurring development of hotels, restaurants and other businesses needed to support tourism. In addition to housing a museum with displays depicting the history of the jail and area, the building is significant in that it is one of the few remaining jail/resident structures in the US and was the residence/office of the first woman sheriff in Missouri.Linneus is located in an economically depressed area of northern Missouri and has a population of 369 people.
