'''Bohemia Farm''', also known as Milligan Hall, is a historic home located on the [[Bohemia River]] at [[Earleville, Maryland|Earleville]], [[Cecil County, Maryland]]. It is a five bays wide, [[Flemish bond]] brick [[Georgian architecture|Georgian]] style home built about 1743. Attached is a frame, 19th century gambrel-roof wing. The house interior features elaborate decorative plasterwork of the Rococo style and the full "[[Chinese Chippendale (architecture)|Chinese Chippendale]]" staircase. It was "part-time" home of [[Louis McLane]].<ref name="mht_ihp">{{cite web|url=https://mht.maryland.gov/secure/medusa/PDF/NR_PDFs/NR-145.pdf |title=National Register of Historic Places Registration: Bohemia Farm|date=August 1972|accessdate=2016-01-01 |author=Michael Bourne |publisher=Maryland Historical Trust}}</ref><br />

The estate was founded by [[Augustine Herman]], a Bohemian-born cartographer from [[Mšeno]].<br />
<br />
Ephraim, the oldest son of Herman, was among the principal converts to the [[Labadists|Labadist]] faith, a [[Friesland|Frisian]] [[Pietism|Pietist]] sect that practiced a form of [[Christian communism]] that emphasized asceticism, [[plain dress]], gender equality, and [[universal priesthood]]. In 1683, Augustine Herman granted 3,750 acres (15 km2) of land to the Labadists to form a colony. The Labadist commune never managed to gain more than 100 settlers and ceased to exist after 1720.<ref name="settlement">{{cite book |title=The Pennsylvania-German in the Settlement of Maryland |last=Nead |authorlink= |year=1980 |publisher=Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc. |location= |isbn=978-0-8063-0678-0 |page= |pages= |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=wBYRo7zZgQwC&dq=Augustine+Herman&pg=PA20 |accessdate=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.mdhs.org/labadists-bohemia-manor |title=The Labadists of Bohemia Manor |publisher=[[Maryland Historical Society]] |accessdate=2020-08-25}}</ref><br />
