Wall repairs under way at Highland House

By
The Highland County Press-

The Highland House Museum is currently undergoing a facelift, as the planned back wall project started this week.

Work will be done on the south wall of the Highland House Museum.

At the Highland County Historical Society’s annual meeting in October 2014, then-president Michael McCarty informed members that the back wall of the museum was deteriorating and would have to be replaced.

"The entire wall appears to be slowly moving out toward the south, away from the rest of the house," McCarty said. "A further close examination seems to reveal that the foundations are giving way under that part of the house, and the foundations are actually starting to bow out, along with the wall."

Members approved a motion to “contract at a cost not to exceed $80,000 for the repair of the rear south wall of the Highland House.”

The Highland County Historical Society will celebrate its 50th anniversary on May 20 from 5-7 p.m. at the Highland House. The public is invited to attend.
