The story so far

from Wikipedia & the U.S. Census

Home Township is a township in Nemaha County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2020 census, its population was 511.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 543 to 511 (-6%). Half of its homes were built before 1956.

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Home yet — the old photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Nothing in Home is on the National Register yet

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Home has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Vermillion United Methodist Church in Vermillion, 4.5 miles away.

How a place gets listed

3Write it upA nomination covers the history, photos and a map. Vermillion United Methodist Church’s page links to a real one.
