Mission/Vision

The Friends of Highland Recreation Area are committed to help support Highland Recreation Area State Park by assisting and promoting interpretive, scientific, historical and educational visitor services.

A visit is literally a “day in the park”

Welcome to “Friends of Highland Recreation Area”

Haven Hill located in Highland Recreation State Park.

 

As a former estate of Edsel and Eleanor Ford, Haven Hill has many stories to tell.

 

That’s why we’ve formed the “Friends of Highland Recreation Area”!

 

The Friends of Highland Recreation Area is a group of concerned citizens and organizations working to renovate the remaining Haven Hill structures, beginning with this barn. The first phase of this rescue, is the Haven Hill’s Edsel Ford Barn. Built in the early 1930’s this barn is one of three remaining structures from the Haven Hill Estate. This 15,000 sq. ft. barn is in immediate need of rescue, and we can’t do it alone - we need your help today.

 

Spanning Highland and White Lake townships, few historic attractions in the United States offer the combined level of history and natural beauty of Haven Hill. But unless we act now, it won’t be anything more than a paragraph in a local paper. So we encourage you to join our growing list of support and ongoing exploration of this fascinating property, by simply getting involved!

                                      

Meetings are held the first Wednesday of each month at 7:00 P.M. Contact us for more information.
