Millhome is a small, quiet place in Wisconsin, a state in the United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that aren't officially a city or a village with its own local government. Instead, it's part of a larger area called a "town" – in this case, the town of Schleswig. Millhome is located in Manitowoc County.
