Welcome to the
official page of the James Millikin Homestead
located in Decatur, Illinois. See our upcoming events.
 The Millikin Homestead sits in regal
splendor on a large lot at the corner of Pine and Main Streets
in Decatur: an ornate mansion in the Italianate style with a
French Second Empire roof.
Its delicate wrought iron traceries, colorful slate roof,
many porches and arched windows are in stark contrast to the
Frank Lloyd Wright- inspired homes of the Millikin Place that
face it on the north.
From the beginning, the James Millikin Homestead has been
one of the queens of residential architecture and decoration
in Decatur.
~ The home is listed in the National Register of Historic Places
~
The Home is open to the Public
the last Sunday of each month
2:00p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
from April through October
Admission:
Adults $2.00 Children $0.50
The Mission of the James Millikin Homestead,
Inc. is to restore and preserve the interior of this irreplaceable
Decatur landmark, thereby raising community awareness of our
historical heritage, and promoting preservation for future generations.
