About Highland

Tucked into the rolling hills of southwestern Wisconsin, Highland is a quiet village surrounded by scenic farm country and peaceful wooded valleys. It has the classic feel of a small Midwestern community where neighbors greet each other by name and Main Street shops cater to both village residents and surrounding farm families. Living here means enjoying starry nights, quiet country roads, and a grounded pace of life within an easy drive of Dodgeville, Spring Green, and Mount Horeb.

Outdoor recreation is a major draw for locals, particularly with Blackhawk Lake Recreation Area sitting just minutes away. The lake is a favorite weekend hangout for boating, camping, bass fishing, and swimming along the beach. Community life stays active through friendly local traditions, including youth rodeos, seasonal fish fries, Lions Club fundraisers, and church suppers. For anyone looking to trade city noise for scenic beauty and a friendly rural community, Highland offers a comfortable, down-to-earth place to call home.
