Highland Historical Society and its collection

The Mansion House holds a significant place in American history as it served as a hospital during the American Civil War, specifically around the time of the Battle of McDowell on May 8, 1862. This historical context adds an extra layer of interest for visitors, particularly those with an interest in American history.

Mansion House as the Highland County Museum

Currently, the Mansion House is owned by the Highland County Historical Society and functions as the Highland County Museum. This allows visitors to not only appreciate the architectural beauty of the house but also explore the rich history of Highland County through various exhibits and displays.
