Heritage Village Mountain Lake

Heritage Village Mountain Lake Heritage Village is a historical site with local historic buildings. The Village was founded in 1972 to preserve the history of the local population.

The Heritage Village was founded in 1972 to preserve the history of the people of the Mountain Lake community dating back to the late 1800s. Buildings and items relating to homes, churches, schools, agriculture, and various other businesses have been gathered and displayed. These items tell the story of how things were and the struggles encountered when the area was first settled. It leads us to i

magine how difficult things must have been during the early years with grasshoppers, blizzards, extreme heat, and droughts.

Thank you to all of you who helped make Christmas at the Village a successful year by decorating, sponsoring or driving through and enjoying the lights.
We are putting away our Christmas decorations for this year and could use some larger totes to reorganize them. If you have any used in good condition preferably with lids that you could donate, please let us know. Thank you
