Highland County, known as "Virginia's Little Switzerland," features a unique history shaped by its high altitude and small population. Officially formed in 1847 from parts of Bath and Pendleton Counties, its early German and Scotch Irish settlers displayed remarkable perseverance in the face of isolation. This book captures the county's identity, blending strong individualism with community spirit, and showcases its rich tradition through captivating photographs spanning the 19th century to the present day, illustrating the evolution of both the rural landscape and its inhabitants.
