2020 Dahlia Festival Entries

1. STILL LIFE WITH FLOWERS

Location: HHV Museum

Story: When Highlands was founded in 1875, moonshining provided essentially the only stable income available to Appalachian mountaineers. Their corn and apples would otherwise spoil before reaching markets in the flatland. But whiskey and brandy could be preserved and sold for much moccasin_war_marker.jpgneeded income. During the great Moccasin War of 1885, Highlands claimed to be "dry," but there were as many stills hidden in the dense forests on the plateau as there were across the Georgia border. One of the byproducts of the moonshine runners' souped-up cars was today's NASCAR, where drivers who once outfoxed and outran federal agents still race for a living.

A Legends-and-Lore Marker on Main Street celebrates the Moccasin War, which actually made the front page of the New York Times on March 15, 1885.

2. THE BEE’S KNEES: AN ODE TO OUR FLYING POLLINATORS

Location: HHV Prince House

Story: The Elizabeth Wright Prince House is the oldest existing house in Highlands, built by Arthur House in 1877. In 1935 Elizabeth Prince converted her private home into a boarding house for much needed income. She rented rooms for $9.00 a week, and her meals made "The Prince House" a Mecca for residents and visitors to the Highlands who dined there on Sundays for the next forty years. Her guests would wait on the porch, visiting with each other, until they could be served chicken fried in country butter, fresh vegetables, and buttermilk pie or pound cake. She cooked all her food the old time way, no mixes or instant foods were found in her kitchen. She was well known for her pumpkin pies and the old-fashioned chocolate cakes—these being yellow layers with chocolate icing. The table was covered with the old-fashioned white tablecloth.

The Prince House was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on April 17, 2017, and serves today as a living history museum.

3. BUG HILL

Location: HHV Bug Hill

Story: In 1908, during a raging tuberculosis epidemic, Dr Mary Lapham built the Highlands Camp Sanatorium. She was the first physician in the United States to treat tuberculosis using the pneumothorax method of collapsing the lung to give it a rest. Her treatment saved thousands of lives across the U. S. This cottage/tent was the brainchild of Dr. Lapham, which allowed the patient to have maximum exposure to the cold, fresh, healing mountain air. It's the last one of 60 built here and was used until a fire burned the sanatorium in 1918.

7. HELLO DAHLIA

Location: Highlands Playhouse

Story: Highlands Playhouse, one of the country’s oldest professional summer stock theaters, is the legacy of Highlands’s early forward-thinking families. Originally used as the Highlands School auditorium in the mid-1930s, the first group of local amateurs staged their first production of the Broadway comedy "Dulcy" here in the 1930s. Reserved seats cost 50¢. Bleacher seats were 35¢. And it was a sell out crowd. Over the years, the local ensemble began to bring in professionals and mounted sophisticated plays by important authors: Molière, Ionesco, George Bernard Shaw, and Thornton Wilder. Collin Wilcox, a regular on the local stage, went on to play opposite Gregory Peck in the film “To Kill A Mockingbird” as Mayella. Today, Playhouse Theatre, with 3-4 plays each summer, is still a springboard for local drama students to hone their skills alongside professional mentors. For children, the Playhouse Theater Summer Camp offers fun, hands-on exposure to the magical experience of writing and performing a play. And off-season, the performance space becomes a movie theatre for first-run films. Highlands Playhouse will soon have a new home - joining other cultural organizations in the newly expanded Performing Arts Center. The theater will seat as many as 350 with state-of-the-art sound and lighting.

9. DELIGHTFUL DAHLIAS WITH FLORAL AND FURRY FRIENDS

Location: Kelsey Hutchinson Park

Story: PURPLE AND PINK PASSION Flowers bring love and passion to a relationship. Purple is a symbol of royalty, nobility, luxury, power, and ambition. It also means wealth, extravagance, creativity, wisdom, dignity, grandeur, devotion, peace, pride, mystery, independence, and magic. Pink–a delicate color–means sweet, nice, playful, cute, romantic, charming, feminine, and tender.

HERBS AND DAHLIAS – TRUE LOVE
Herbs provide the delightful scents and unique flavors of life, while Dahlias provide the beauty. Keep this arrangement on your kitchen counter or bar, and enjoy the fresh scents each day and the flavors in your favorite culinary creations.

GALAX GALORE AT THE LAKE
Galax (Galax urceolata), aka Beetleweed, is an herb/wildflower. It is prized around the world as a base plant in floral arrangements because its leaves hold their green color for up to several weeks after they have been picked. North Carolina accounts for 99% of the national Galax harvest, and the Blue Ridge Parkway area provides much of that Galax.

BEAR’N DOWN ON THE FLOWERS
Bears are a part of the experience on the plateau. These creatures, large and small, love to dump over cans and explore their contents. This time it was flowers and not yummy barbeque leftovers.

LAKE GLENVILLE BLOSSOMS
The environment that Lake Glenville provides brings a rich variety of the flora and fauna to the region. The sunlight, rich soil, mountains, and forest combine to produce glorious flowers and plants throughout the year but especially in the Spring, Summer, and Fall.

10. X MARKED THE SPOT

Location: Kelsey Hutchinson Park Stage

Story: “Kelsey, I have a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore.” Hutchinson might have said this when he and Kelsey founded Highlands in 1875. While living in Kansas, the two developers drew lines from Chicago to Savannah and from New Orleans to New York City. They felt that the place where these lines met would eventually become a great trading center and commercial crossroads. The intersecting lines, the X, marked the spot that became Highlands.

Presenter: Laurel Garden Club

Co-chairs: Peggy Boruchow and Libby Eustis

Very special thanks for the generous floral contributions from some of Highlands’ finest private gardens, members of Laurel Garden Club, Grigsby Arnette, and Santiago Belman.

When Highlands’ founder, Samuel Kelsey, stood atop what is now HCLT’s conserved Satulah Mountain Preserve, he knew that he had found some place special, a realization that you, as someone standing here in this beautiful greenspace nestled in this charming community surrounded by these incredible mountains, have likely also realized. Indeed, a place this special needs to be cared for, and HCLT is equipped and ready to continue this charge for the next 100 years. An accredited 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, your Land Trust protects the lush forests, majestic peaks, gurgling waters, and open spaces that make our plateau so special—these places that are necessary for the health and wellbeing of all who call our mountains home: two legged, four legged, scaled, feathered, leaf-covered, and blooming. We are funded thanks to the support of people like you. Now more than ever, the pressure is on our mountains— they need us. Please consider investing in our home by donating to HCLT today at hicashlt.org. All the native botanicals used here were collected from our conserved properties here on the plateau.

When Sunday would roll around, we found every excuse to stay as late as we could—we just did NOT want to leave Highlands! During every visit over 25 years, we would say, “We really want to live here one day”!!

Fast forward to 2015 . . . we found ourselves buying a Mirror Lake cottage and making this our primary residence. We had to continue to work and challenged ourselves to get our realtors license!

Story: There are garden angels. Oakleaf’s most special angel was Betty McCall. She taught us the secrets of the climate here, she taught us patience, she was an inspiration. She also supplied us for years with the most beautiful dahlias that we used in the shop and for countless weddings.

She is gone now, but I think of her every evening. My mother always told me that stars were loved ones looking down on us. I now look up into the night sky, looking for a bright, twinkling dahlia-shaped star shining on me. She’s always there, and I somehow feel safe.

25. SEPTEMBER SUNDAY MORNING

Location: Highlands United Methodist Church

Story: The Methodists were the first denomination to build their own sanctuary in Highlands. Construction was begun in 1882 by the Highlands Methodist Episcopal Church (the church of the Northern Methodists) on the land where the Baptist Church stands today. The Methodist Episcopal Church South (representing the Southern Methodists) offered to buy the property from the Northern Methodists, but were not successful. The first Highlands Church building was finally dedicated July 5, 1885. The new sanctuary was shared by both Methodist groups and the Baptists. In 1890 the Southern Methodists built their church where Mountain Findings is today. In 1904 the Northern and Southern Methodists fully reconciled and reunited. In 1908 they began construction of a new sanctuary on Main Street. The sanctuary was dedicated on August 20, 1909. There have been several additions and renovations since then, making Highland United Methodist Church the large multipurpose space it is today.

32. PRIMEVAL FOREST

Location: Chamber of Commerce/Visitor’s Center

Story: Imagine a mountain primeval forest filled with hardwood trees that create a canopy of lush vegetation and a forest floor where flora and fauna were so abundant, a place unlike any in the world. Before the Town of Highlands was established in the beautiful Highlands Plateau, there only existed some of the first settlers in this area at the base of the mighty Whiteside Mountain. These settlers would live along the rivers and remain in the cove for years. Time would soon after bring change to the glorious Highlands Plateau and the primeval forest that once stood.

FACT TO TAKE WITH YOU TODAY AS YOU NOTICE SOME OF THE STREET NAMES THROUGHOUT THE TOWN: The following street names in downtown Highlands were named for the trees that were taken down in order to build the roads you see today. What type tree fell in that spot was how that street was named. If a mighty Oak was cut to clear the way for a street, then that's the name the street was given: Maple Street, Pine Street, Hickory Street, Chestnut Street, Poplar Street, Laurel Street, Spruce Street, and Oak Lane.
