The Highlander: Remembering Hillsboro dining in the 1960s • • Ladies and gentlemen, now that we’ve had a steak and some Drambuie at Stanforth’s Steak House, where should we go next?
Today, we have Alley 21 and Highland Lanes in Hillsboro, but in the 1960s, there was the Highlander. Let’s take a short drive over to 972 West Main Street.
The Highlander Restaurant dates back to the early 1950s, and construction on the Highlander Bowling Lanes began in the summer of 1959. The restaurant was owned by Harold M. Day, and later by Mae Rosselott Means.
In June of 1954, the Highlander Restaurant officially opened its drive-in service, offering a free coffee or ice-cold lemonade to patrons. Back then, a Highburger served with French fries and slaw was 60 cents. A Highburger itself was 45 cents. A steak sandwich with fries was 75 cents, and a chicken sandwich with slaw and olives was also 75 cents.
Remembering uptown Hillsboro dining in the 1960s • • Ladies and gentlemen, before we decided to spend some time in Highland County in 1942, we had been hanging out in the 1960s.
We had visited grocery stores like Albers, auto companies like Baker Auto Sales, and other iconic businesses of yore like Stockwell’s, Limes Jewelry, Ellison Brothers and Kaufman’s.
Quite a few folks have told me how much they have enjoyed these offerings and reminiscing about those days, and considering there are still a lot of places we haven’t visited, let’s go ahead and drive the Way Back Studebaker Machine up a couple of decades.
