New Market , south of Hillsboro was considered for the county seat but legend has it the town leaders got very intoxicated during discussions about building a courthouse that Hillsboro was able to raise the money first and since then has served as the Highland County seat of government. Hillsboro grew quickly, having 868 inhabitants in 1840. By the mid 1840’s the community contained three churches, two newspaper offices, fourteen stores, and an academy for men and a school for women. In 1880, 3,234 people resided in Hillsboro, with approximately one-third of the being children. The town became a center of agricultural and industrial trade with two railroad lines serving the town. Most of Hillsboro's manufacturing businesses produced flour, carriages, and lumber for this growing community. Hillsboro's largest employer was J.M. Boyd & Company, which processed flour. Manufacturing importance grew through the 19th and 20th centuries as companies like C.S. Bell, Gross-Feibel and others added industrial capacity to the town’s abilities. With an emphasis on learning and knowledge educational pursuits were encouraged in both men and women leading to many lawyers, governors and community leaders crediting Hillsboro for their accomplishments. Educated and empowered women began the Temperance Crusade here and were led by “Mother” Eliza JaneThompson the daughter of a governor and wife of an attorney. They left a mark on the town that exists today as few liquor establishments remain inside the city limits. The city still boasts an active civic life with a variety of festivals, parades and celebrations that are family friendly and display the beauty of our historic streets and heritage. The ‘uptown’ area, named that way because all the streets lead up to the center of town, has a wide variety of shops and services for residents and visitors alike. A drugstore is centrally located and still boasts the tin ceilings installed in 1895. Along the main streets of High and Main are a bookstore, appliance store, health food store, beauty shops, cosmetic shop, butcher, baker and even a candlestick maker just like in T towns of days gone by. Even a cobbler shop exists on S. High o u Street that has been in the same location since the early years r of the town.

  • The Lightning Field Walter De Maria Catron County, NM, USA
    The Lightning Field Walter De Maria Catron County, NM, USA On a high desert plain in western New Mexico, Walter De Maria (b.1935) had 400 stainless-steel poles installed as lightning rods. Each of the polished metal poles is spaced about 67 m (220 ft) apart, and together the 16 rows of 25 poles form a grid measuring 1.6 × 1 km (1 × 0.62 miles). The poles are all 5 cm (2 in ) in diameter but they vary in height from 4.5 to 7.9 m (14.8 to 25.9 ft) and are installed into the earth at varying depths so that their tips form a level plane regardless of the fluctuations in height of the uneven desert ground below. However, the art of this work is not to be found in the form of the grid, but in its interaction with the forces of nature. The Dia Art Foundation, who originally commissioned the work, continues to maintain the site and provide transport and overnight accommodation for visitors with advance reservations. During the visiting season, which runs from May until the end of October, up to six people at a time can stay for one night in a wooden cabin at the site. One can never predict when lightning will strike, but when a storm does occur it is an awesome phenomenon to behold. Striking the terrain not far from the viewers’ cabin, the lightning bolts provide a sublime, fearsome and breathtaking experience. When a lightning storm is not raging, the site still provides visitors with a beautiful and contemplative experience.
