Description:

The year 2025 marks the 150th Anniversary of the founding of the Town of Highlands. On March 6, 1875, Samuel Kelsey and Clinton Carter “C.C” Hutchinson stood on the summit of Satulah Mountain and mapped out a crude survey of the town below. This presentation focuses on the neighborhood that was eventually created on the mountain itself. The lecture will, in part, review the book, Satulah: the Mountain, by James E. Green, originally published in 2010, by focusing on the unique circumstances and personalities of early residents that led them to build their homes in such an extreme location. Though the name of the mountain has uncertain origins, its impact and presence looming over Highlands’ history is most definite today. This program is in collaboration with the Highlands Historical Society.

Tracy L. Foor is the current President of the Highlands Historical Society. The mission of HHS is to “preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of Highlands for present and future generations.” The Historical Village owned and operated by HHS is home to a museum and the Prince House, Highlands’ oldest surviving residence. It is open from Memorial Day weekend through the end of October each year for visitors with free admission.
