About Denison

With roughly 150 residents, Denison is a quiet rural community in Jackson County, about half an hour north of Topeka. The town has an unusual origin story dating back to the late 1880s: when a new railroad line bypassed the nearby settlement of Tippinville, residents packed up their houses and churches and hauled them down the road to build a new town by the tracks. Today, Denison offers peaceful small-town living, with local children attending schools in neighboring Holton.
