Photos from the Wisconsin Arboretum, a 1200 acre nature preserve managed by the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Holy Hill is located in southeast Wisconsin, on the highest elevation in that part of the state. Situated on 435 acres of rural countryside, it provides the visitor with the opportunity for spiritual enrichment. Visitors remark about the peace, beauty and serenity they find at Holy Hill.
As early as 1903, Holy Hill was declared a Shrine of Mary, Help of Christians. In 2006, the Shrine was raised to the status of Minor Basilica. But as far back as the 1700s and perhaps earlier, the Americans Indians came to Holy Hill because they considered it a sacred place.
The structure sits atop a wooded hillside in the southern Kettle Moraine countryside. Climb the observation tower's 178 steps and you'll see the skyline of Milwaukee to the east and you'll almost see all the way to Madison if you look west. 10-11-2011
