Bohemia Farm, also known as Milligan Hall, is a historic home located on the Bohemia River at Earleville, Cecil County, Maryland. It is a five bays wide, Flemish bond brick 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" staircase. It was "part-time" home of Louis McLane.[1]
The estate was founded by Augustine Herman, a Bohemian-born cartographer from Mšeno.
Ephraim, the oldest son of Herman, was among the principal converts to the Labadist faith, a Frisian 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.[2][3]
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.[4]
