We invite you to include a tour of The Highground, near Neillsville, Wisconsin, in your Midwest travel packages. The Highground, the nation’s premier manned Veterans memorial park, features impressive statuary and tributes, beautiful landscaping and a breathtaking view of a half-million acres of Wisconsin’s glacial moraine.

Nestled on 155 wooded acres, The Highground is a perfect stop for your travel groups. There are tributes to honor the service and sacrifice of those who served in our nation’s military from WWI to present day. Families of service members are also honored and recognized throughout the Park. Guests do not have to be Veterans to appreciate the grandeur and “heart” of The Highground, a place that will inspire peace and renewal for all.

We hope visitors will be rejuvenated by the fresh air and leave with a renewed sense of peace. Guided tours, led by our knowledgeable staff and volunteers, are available with a requested donation of $4 per person and will offer guests the opportunity to learn about the history of the Park and the meaning behind our tributes.

After the tour, browse The Highground Gift Shop for high-quality products including apparel, books, jewelry and unique items for Veterans. And, don’t forget to stop by The Highground Museum to explore engaging exhibits that change approximately every three months. The Museum offers a unique opportunity for you and your group to view fascinating photos and memorabilia from around the world. Your visit should ideally be two hours long, so guests can fully experience everything The Highground offers.

To book your guided tour, please contact Theresa at museum@thehighground.org or call 715-743-4224. We kindly request two weeks advance notice for tours. We look forward to your visit!
