Our Hometown
Written By: Johanna Fein, Highlands Chamber of Commerce/ Visit Highlands, NC | Issue: July 2023
Even with its natural beauty and gloriously mild weather, at its core the allure of Highlands is built upon the generous spirit of its people.
With the summer season upon us, we wanted to thank the residents of Highlands for continuing to provide a warm welcome to visitors from near and far. Our friends, family, and others who visit Highlands each summer are the economic engine that keeps Highlands a thriving community for all to enjoy.
There is something undeniably alluring about Highlands. Visitors may be drawn to Highlands for our natural beauty – waterfalls, scenic views, and hiking trails – but there are also intangibles, such as friendly service, a safe environment, clean air, and our unique history and culture. These assets are invaluable – not just to visitors but to residents, too.
Year-round the Highlands Chamber of Commerce/Visit Highlands, NC works to improve the quality of life for our fellow residents and enhance the community as a dynamic place to live and work. Locals and visitors are always invited to drop into the Welcome Center at 108 Main Street for brochures, maps, and destination information. We have suggestions for new adventures and experiences whether it is your first visit, or you’ve been here all your life.
We are proud of our charming little town, and we know you are too! While you are enjoying the live music at a Saturdays on Pine outdoor concert, shopping on Main Street, or dining in one of our wonderful restaurants, smile at or say hello to someone new. They may be visiting for the weekend or a summer resident, but either way, they will appreciate the gesture. Remember, a great place to live is a great place to visit.
