Each spring and fall, there’s a special kind of magic that fills Green Mill Village. Arcola comes alive with history, artistry, and community as the Country Spirit Antique Show opens its doors. Known across the Midwest as a premier antique destination, this event draws collectors, vendors, and curious visitors from near and far—all searching for one-of-a-kind treasures and a weekend steeped in small-town charm.

When I look around Green Mill Village today, I don’t just see buildings—I see lives being built, connections being made, and opportunities coming to life. From the very beginning, my hope was to create a place where people could live, work, visit, and grow together. Every corner of this multi-use campus in Arcola, Illinois, reflects that idea: a thoughtful blend of services, amenities, and genuine care.
