Highland Croft wants to preserve these wonderful structures in our midst and promote the North Country's unique culture

The Highland Croft was built by the first Vice President of US Steel at the turn of the last century. Mr. William Brown Dickson was the driving advocate for the 8-hour day – an important cause for America’s quality of family life, and a tradition upheld now by law. His influence in the early 20th century was important as a voice of conscience within industry in the hot times of the early labor movement. His pioneering efforts are now reflected in our labor laws of today that honor the 8 hour work day, promoting a balance and quality of life for working Americans everywhere.
