HOLY HILL

Hartford, Washington County. June, 1959. Altitude c. 1,500 feet. The twin spires of the Roman Catholic church and monastery at Holy Hill reach for the sky in Wisconsin's forested southern Kettle Moraine. The prominent landmark was built upon a moulin kame (a conical hill comprised of sand and gravel, deposited during the waning stages of the Wisconsin glaciation), now the highest point in southeastern Wisconsin.
