THE DUNHAM HOMESTEAD
Back in the day the Dunham homestead was a large farm
in the county outside the city limits of Decatur, Macon County, Illinois.
As time went on and the city grew the homestead
became part of the city - 1203 West Main street.
The buildings that are now on the site of the homestead are used for student housing.
Millikin university is just across the street.
