Highgate is a town in Franklin County, Vermont, United States.

[4] The Grateful Dead played two shows in Highgate at the Franklin County State Airport in July 1994 and June 1995.

[9] U.S. Route 7 and Interstate 89 pass through the town, intersecting at I-89's Exit 22, just south of the international border.

[10] The Missisquoi and Rock rivers, tributaries of Lake Champlain, flow through the town.

The northwest corner of town is within Missisquoi Bay, an arm of Lake Champlain.

Highgate has had an HVDC back-to-back station since 1985; it was built by Asea in the record time of eight months.

It was built on short notice because the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant had an extended maintenance period approaching.

VGS's gas is supplied from a connection at Highgate Springs to the TransCanada Pipeline.
