Morgan-Skinner-Boyd Homestead, also known as Walnut Grove, is a historic home located at Merrillville, Lake County, Indiana. The original section of the house was built in 1877, and is a two-story, Italianate style brick dwelling with a low pitched roof topped by a cupola. A kitchen addition was added about 1900, along with a one-story, wood frame addition. The house features porches with Eastlake Movement decoration. Also on the property are the contributing pump house (c. 1877), milk shed (c. 1900), and granary (c. 1877).

It was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.
