Parks & Recreation
City Walk
The City Walk, which runs along Main Avenue from Lenoir-Rhyne University through Downtown Hickory to 11th Street NW and up to Old Lenoir Road (future OLLE Art Walk), will continue the growth of company headquarters and professional jobs in the City’s central business district.
Harper House
Considered by the North Carolina Department of Archives and History to possess “the finest Queen Anne interior styling in the entire state,” the Harper House, at 310 N. Center Street, and the accompanying Bonniwell-Lyerly House in the Craftsman style, another of Hickory’s finest structures, are poised to serve the broad spectrum of Catawbans and visitors from near and far as the Harper House & Hickory History Center. Please check website for hours.
