Located at the southern tip of Lake Michigan, Highland is a small town great for those looking to raise a family in a close-knit community. The town prides itself in being descendants of cabbage, onion, and pumpkin farmers who helped build the town. The schools are good and many of the popular events are held at or organized by the Lincoln Community Center. The Festival of the Trail celebrates the arts by featuring artist booths, a farmer’s market, and live music. The annual Downtown Car Cruise features dozen of vintage cars.
