Duncan Mills

I took the long way home from Emiquon, taking Route 100 to Lewistown. This route passes the corner of Duncan Mills, an unincorporated community near the Spoon River. I have long admired an old barn near the intersection of US 136 and IL 100.

An automobile garage is the only business left in the area.
