About Highmore
Highmore is a small, welcoming town of around 700 residents in central South Dakota. As the county seat of Hyde County, it sits along Highway 14 on a gentle rise in the prairie, which originally inspired its name. Life here centers on agriculture and a close-knit community atmosphere where neighbors know each other and local events bring everyone together.
The town serves as a practical hub for the surrounding rural area, home to Hyde County's courthouse, local K-12 schools, and everyday services. When you need larger grocery runs, specialized medical care, or regional flights, Pierre is an easy 45-minute drive to the west. With the Missouri River also nearby for fishing and boating, Highmore offers a quiet, affordable place to settle down with plenty of open sky.
