    The Furnace Place - We used those very stones at ten years of age to dam up Cherokee Creek! Made a great swimming hole!

    https://youtu.be/wrIKUIVwv10?si=UT58vvEoSqtm5E76…read more A beautiful place that I'm sure is very calming and relaxing in the daytime. We did a paranormal investigation here - the link is above. We didn't experience a lot of activity other than from a spirit box. We heard some weird noises but didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Someone had dumped their trash at the site before we got there, but there were no signs of anyone else there. We did feel like we were being watched the entire time, though. If you visit at night it is a pretty sketchy looking area. Make sure you go with someone and protect yourself.

    Man does this entire area have a glorious and also a very dark past! The quick history I'm…read morerevealing was passed down from my great, great, great, maternal grandmother. In the early 1800's a cotton gin was located at the top of the dam ( picture included) . It utilized Eli Whitney's cotton gin model. Cotton was king of all crops around here for a hundred years or so. With the outbreak of the Civil War, crops of large scale were abandoned. Below the dam with water wheel still in place was constructed an iron ore smelting furnace. It produced metal for confederate arms. After the war it was replaced by a cornmeal gin that used two large limestone stones to grind the corn into corn meal. I actually saw this in operation once as a small boy. After years of abandonment, only skeletal remains are left. Interesting and sad! Great local history!

The entrance is on the Washington Street side of the building. Make sure to stop at the smaller building outside as that is where you buy your tickets and receive your earbuds. From there you can proceed inside the renovated courthouse and a docent with start the introduction film then explain what order to go through the museum. The Center opened in 2014. I did not know who Earl Scruggs was before my visit. The North Carolina Musicians Mural Trail brought me to Shelby, NC. But he was a well-known banjo player and who had his own style of playing while developing the sounds of bluegrass. Besides Scruggs, the museum tells some of the history of Cleveland County. The Rotunda has the instruments used by the Scruggs family. In These Hills tells Earl Scrugg's story and has some interactive exhibits. There is a board where you can listen to his music and that of other artists. Out of Carolina is the next room and covers the next stage in Scruggs career. The radio history, Shelby Dynasty and textile mills in the area. Turning Road is the last room covers the Civil Rights Movement, textile mills closing, and changing music styles. I recommend a visit to the center if you are near Shelby.

    Very interactive and interesting to learn about Earl Scruggs and bluegrass music. I enjoyed it…read morewith my family.

    I was so looking forward to my stop at the Hickory Aviation Museum located at the Hickory Airport…read morein what used to be baggage claim. Admission is free as is parking in the lot. When you enter the airport, follow the hallway back to the museum. I was greeted at first then asked to sign the guestbook. From there I was on my own and felt like I was interrupting the groups conversation and not welcomed. Although they continued talking about medical conditions; whether they liked the menu at the reopening restaurant in the terminal; what they were going to eat for lunch, etc. It made it difficult to read the signage. The museum had many artifacts and memorabilia that provide insight on how flying has changed over the years and military history. One section is dedicated to Bill and George Preddy. A Wall of Honor was created for those who have died. Outside there are many aircraft to see. It would have been nice to get some background information and extra details while there but that might just depend on the volunteers that day.

    This is a gem of a place for people interested in aviation and as I experienced, Mustangs! I…read morevisited the Museum for the first time when they were hosting the Snakes and Plane auto display where the cars (Mustangs) were on display among the planes. They have some really cool planes from the Blue Angels to some WWII planes and lots in between. Admission is free and it's right at the Hickory Regional Airport. There's also a little Cafe in the terminal building that I want to try on my next visit.

I was warmly greeted when I entered the store and given an overview of what was available, and that the museum was from the owner's personal collection. She even tried to help me find a museum I couldn't find. The store opened in August of 2024. Samples were available if you wanted to try before you buy. You can get pickled fudge, pickle-flavored lollipops, freeze-dried pickles, pickled asparagus, pickled beets, beverages and more. There were t-shirts, candles, soap, toys, and more. A refrigerated section sells cheese and other items that require refrigeration, such as pickles without preservatives and pickled lemonade. They sell items you won't find elsewhere. The shop is located inside a historic building built in 1914. The mini museum showcases a variety of pickle memorabilia, from jars and toys to vintage signs, games and other unique items. Parking is available on the street; just make sure you are in the spot for less than three hours, or the parking attendant will give you a ticket. If you are looking for somewhere quirky to visit or a hard-to-find item, you might find it here. You can order from the website if you don't live close enough to shop in person.
