About Prescott

Located in southern Linn County, Prescott is a quiet community of around 200 residents that grew out of the 1870s railroad boom. Originally known as Coal Centre, the town took shape in the Little Osage River valley as tracks were laid and local shops opened to serve early settlers. Today, it offers a relaxed, slow-paced setting with plenty of open Kansas countryside and a friendly, close-knit feel.
