Cora Bauman, Highlands Historical Society

May celebrates the community effort that has protected Highlands’ heritage and shaped the Historic Village we
know today.

Highlands’ hospitality industry grew not just from its scenic setting but from the year‑round residents whose hard work, resilience, and community spirit shaped the town into the thriving mountain destination it is today.

Highlands’ long tradition of hospitality—from pioneer boarding houses to modern retreats—continues to link the community’s past with its vibrant present.
