High Hallack is located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, approximately one-half hour's drive from Nashville. The property is close to Middle Tennessee State University - the largest in the state. It is also conveniently situated within walking distance of several fast-food restaurants and banks, in addition to a grocery and a post office, yet its neighbourhood is very quiet and its street little trafficked.

The city of Murfreesboro stood witness to many historical events. It was the location of two critical battles during the Civil War, and its antebellum appearance has been restored in the centre of the town; it also showcases numerous historical homes and other sites and may thus itself provide a source of interest and inspiration to Library patrons.
