History The Weinheimer Community Center was opened to the public on January 14, 1954, which was made possible by Frederick Weinheimer. Weinheimer was a former member of the Highland community before his departure to Gulfport, Florida, where he was later laid to rest in the year of 1948. He was the son of the late Henry and Anna Marie Weinheimer, also members of the Highland community. Although Weinheimer had been apart from Highland soil for many years, the town still held a place in his heart. Upon his death, information was released that he had bequeathed the sum of one hundred and fifty thousand to the City of Highland to support finances for the construction for a public community building. Weinheimer believed Highland was the quintessential town to host this building, which was a memorial to his parents under the name of “Weinheimer Community Center.” Under more investigation, it was found that his will specified that the only way in which the City would receive this vast sum of money is if they too were able to come up with part of the expense. Fifty thousand dollars would be raised through the City along with a site, at the corner of Main and Pine streets, to erect the building thanks to the Highland Turners. In addition to the remaining maintenance, operation, and support expenses, Weinheimer left an additional forty thousand dollars to the city. The two-story brick building has been the center of community and recreation in the town of Highland to this day.…
