The Simeon Mills House is an Italianate-style farmhouse-mansion built in 1863 on the east side of Madison, Wisconsin for Mills, an early settler, businessman and prominent civic leader.

In 1987 this, his country house, was added to the National Register of Historic Places.

[2] Simeon Mills was born in 1810 in Connecticut, and grew up in Ohio.

He was the first mail carrier between Madison and Milwaukee, making that trip twice a week from 1837 to 1842.

During the Civil War, Governor Randall put Mills in charge of recruiting volunteers across Wisconsin for the Union Army.

By 1863, the family was living in a city home at the corner of Main and Monona Ave. Mills also owned 180 acres two miles away on the northeast end of the isthmus.
