The initial mission statement of the society is, "To preserve and [share] the past of Highland City for a better present and future." The Historical Society has put together a comprehensive written history of the city.  In addition to the written history, the Historical Society has a small museum in the Highland Community Center, 5378 West 10400 North. The museum displays a collection of historical artifacts, such as, household items, and small tools.

If you have items you would like to donate or lend to be displayed at the museum, contact Charlie Greenland at 801-913-5200.
