Welcome to the Hays-Heighe House
The Hays-Heighe House at Harford Community College blends the modern and historic to connect the present with the past.
This renovated 1808 structure is a place to learn about our heritage through tours, exhibits, and programming. The building also hosts classes, workshops, meetings, and other special events that support the mission of the House. The house may also be rented. We invite you to discover this unique resource during our open hours.
ATTENTION STUDENTS - Have you created art or poetry that connects to issues of identity and civil & political rights? Would you like to? The Hays-Heighe House here at HCC wants to display your work as an addition to our current exhibit, Votes for Women: Taking Our Place in Politics, which commemorates the women’s suffrage movement.
