A Sampling of items in the MERRY MERCANTILE!
If you need inspiration or something to put you in the mood, be sure and stop by the Highland House Museum. It’s beautifully decorated for the holidays from top to bottom. The 2020 theme “Our Favorite Collections” incorporates a wide range items from Santa Clauses and nativity sets to tea cups and butterflies.
One group shares children’s Christmas books from the Highland County Library and invites children to take a gift-wrapped book to read over the holidays. Another room invokes memories of famous Christmas movies such as White Christmas and Miracle on 34th Street.
Be sure to look closely to see if your favorite was one of theirs as well.
The fifteen-plus trees have been decorated by the following groups: Altrusa, Daughters of the American Revolution, Esoteric Club, Highland County Farm Bureau Women, Highland County Retired Teachers Association, Hillsboro Garden Club, Southern Ohio Genealogical Society, Southern State Community College Theatre Group, Three Arts Club, Women in Ministry, Lincoln School Project Ladies and Towne Club plus museum volunteers Kathy Levo, Helen Ford and Carolyn Hastings.
Highland County Historical Society thanks all these groups and their members for their part in continuing the tradition of decorating the museum.

In continuation of the Lincoln School Project, we are setting upon a mission of collecting stories and memories of those who attended Lincoln, or those who remember relatives talking about Lincoln. We hope to bring this together with other documents and photographs to create the ultimate printed copy of the story of Lincoln School attendees and families. As you can see from the above logo, we are tentatively using the title, "VOICES FROM LINCOLN". For further information, contact Kati Burwinkel, Myra Phillips or John Glaze.

Looking for a way to "PAY IT FORWARD" to your community? Consider becoming a volunteer at Highland House! We use volunteers as GREETERS, CLERKS in our Museum Shop (special training required), behind the scenes work, such as reframing photographs and documents, marking objects (part of our ongoing cataloging project), assisting with mailings such as our newsletter, and general cleaning and straightening. You might like to become an costumed interpreter in our Log Cabin or love gardening and would like to share in the work of keeping our beautiful grounds lovely. You can call the office at Highland House - 393-3392, or fill out the form on this site (click on "Volunteers" in the side panel for more information or to find the form).
Have you registered your KROGER PLUS CARD listing HCHS as your charity of choice? This costs you nothing, nor does it take any of your fuel points! BUT, Kroger will share part of their charitable giving with us! We currently have 6 folks helping us and our last check from Kroger was over $50.00. Please help and register your Kroger Plus Card Charitable Organization as HCHS! THANK-YOU!
