The Highground Excited about Expansion
Monday, February 17th, 2014 -- 12:51 PM
-The Highground Veterans Memorial Park is excited to announce the purchase of Ed and Judy Christensen?s property on Ridge Road near Neillsville.After acquiring the property that has become known as The Learning Center, events, exhibits and the number of visitors to The Highground continue to grow. Tremendous exhibits have been seen at the Learning Center and the popularity among veterans, families, guests and schools has been awesome to experience.
The Highground was offered the opportunity to add additional space for the parking demand by the Christensen family. One of the uses could be a ?Welcome Center? to The Highground or office space/meeting space which may be on the Board?s agenda for the property.
The park has experienced an increase in visitors and use of the park?s forest and facilities. Instrumental in making this possible was a gift from the Listeman Foundation that helped with the down payment. The foundation continues to help the Neillsville area grow.
The staff expects to open and dedicate the new facility to visitors in late 2014 or early 2015.
