About Milledgeville

Milledgeville is a quiet village of about 1,000 people in northwestern Illinois's Carroll County. Surrounded by open farmland, the town got its name from an 1800s gristmill that once powered the local economy. Today, it is a peaceful, slow-paced community where neighbors look out for one another and everyday life moves at a comfortable, unhurried rhythm.
