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.
