In 1855, he moved to Detroit, MI and worked in a hardware store. In 1864, he and with three other men started the Michigan Car Company for manufacturing railroad cars. This was the first of many business ventures for McMillan, who was a millionaire by 1900. <br /><br />McMillan became involved in politics in the 1870s. He joined the Republican State Committee in 1876 and emerged as a major figure in Michigan politics. He was elected to the US Senate in 1889 and served until his death in 1902. <br /><br />One of McMillan's duties as Senator was to chair the District of Columbia Committee. Thus, he was heavily involved in the administration of Washington, which at this time had no city council or mayor. As the city approached its centennial in 1900, McMillan led a city beautification campaign that resulted in the creation of Senate Park Commission, which was charged with creating a new plan for the public spaces of the city. <br /><br />McMillan died while advocating for the Commission's plan. Ulimately, Congress never formally adopted the plan, but elements of it were implemented in subsequent decades.
