An old linden tree (Tilia) growing in town in 1901 inspired the present (misspelled) name.

Now, over a hundred years later, four generations of the Gillman family have restored and still work the land today.

Today the cider mill stands with its original honeycomb limestone that was quarried from American Fork Canyon.

Alfred Harper built the house before leaving for New Zealand on a three-year mission for the LDS Church.

On his return he finished the home and planted vines that in time have grown over the house.

The only property in Lindon listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The chapel was dedicated in 1891 by Reed Smoot, a member of the quorum of the twelve apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Today, the original iron fence and pine trees remain where the church once stood.

He also constructed a boat harbor, several wells, and a dance pavilion, a hotel and concession stands.

He constructed the home on his 32 acres (12.9 ha) of land on Lindon Hill in 1882.

The hall was used for three-act plays, silent films, and dancing until it was converted to a cannery in 1940.
