Home (also called Home City[1]) is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in southern Franklin Township, Marshall County, Kansas, United States.[2]

Its altitude is 1,345 feet (410 m), and it is located at Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. (39.8416678, -96.5197389).[1] Home lies along U.S. Route 36 – the Pony Express Highway – and a Union Pacific rail line, east of the city of Marysville,[2] the county seat of Marshall County.[3]

The town gets its name from the first post office, which was established in 1874 in someone's home.[4][5] The post office eventually was moved to its own building, which is now facing possible closure due to postal service austerity measures.[5]
