Welcome to The Highlands Mansion
The Highlands Mansion and Gardens is a 44-acre historic site with a late 18th century Georgian mansion and two-acre formal garden.
Surrounded by massive stone walls, the gardens offer a beautiful example of early 20th, century estate gardening with an unusual blend of horticulture and architecture.
The site features nine outbuildings, including a bank barn, springhouse, greenhouse, smokehouse and Gothic Revival gardener's cottage.
The Highlands Historical Society began to restore the 2-acre formal
garden to its appearance c.1925 - 1935 in October 2001, with a
project at the screening wall on the east side of the garden.
WEDDINGS AT THE MANSION
The Highlands offers a unique setting for your special day. Completed in 1796, the mansion features fifteen foot ceilings and bright spacious rooms in addition to a 2 acre formal garden and the ambiance of the surrounding estate.
VISITING THE HIGHLANDS
The Highlands Mansion is available for historic tours Monday through Thursday by appointment. Tours are approximately an hour in length and cost $10 per person. We are thrilled to now have four adorable goats and offer barnyard sessions and goat walks, scheduled in advance. The gardens are free to walk from dawn to dusk every day. All professional photography requires a permit and fee prior to your visit.
