It has been said that Old Mill Creek - home of the Tempel Lipizzans and the historic Mill Creek Hunt Club - has more horses than people. The rolling hills and woodlands gives Old Mill Creek an old country equestrian charm.

The village of Old Mill Creek, which was settled in the mid-1830s by settlers who came from Scotland, Ireland, Germany, England, and New England, is nestled in north central Lake County, Illinois, about 5 miles south of the Wisconsin border.

According to a 2010 Census, the 6,800-acre village is home to 178 people.

Located in the Village of Old Mill Creek is the Millburn Historic District, a 19th-century community listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Other attractions include a number of specialty shops, Millburn Cemetery, Old Mill Creek Country Store and a variety of farm structures dating back to the mid-1800s.
