The "Milliken Mansion" stands in present day Spruce Hill Township, Juniata County PA along the foot of the Tuscarora Mountains, nestled in about 100 acres of farmland. This homestead was built circa 1834 by a grandson of Thomas Milliken the family immigrant. It was built on the same land where the immigrant first settled and helped clear land for his farm and log cabin.
