US 14th Cavalry at Highwood and Fort Sheridan

As Fort Sheridan's nearest neighbor, Highwood and its people and businesses were critical to the operation of the base. The history of Highwood and its relevance are highlighted here as the Highwood Historical Society shares the experiences and connections that demonstrate Highwood's unique participation in the growth that made Fort Sheridan such a special icon on the North Shore. The society's joint partnership with author Bonnie Duresa has led to the release of many never-before-published photographs to illustrate these amazing tales, so readers can now learn about and enjoy the stories and adventures behind the images.
