Regional Road Trip: Mecklenburg County

Next stop on our Regional Road Trip: Mecklenburg County! We asked our community members for tips on what to see and do – here’s what they had to say:  

Town of Cornelius – There’s plenty of fun to be had in this lakeside town! Start your morning off with a hearty breakfast at Fresh Egg before strolling through one of the parks situated along the shores of Lake Norman.  Looking for more action on the water? Rent a boat at Freedom Boat Club! After a full day of sun, visit Jack’s Corner Tap for dinner before catching a show at Cain Center for the Arts.  

Town of Davidson – This charming downtown has so much to offer. Take a tour of the scenic campus at Davidson College before grabbing coffee at Summit, lunch at Pickled Peach and attending an outdoor concert on the green. Throughout the fall and winter, Davidson also hosts a number of special events, like the Halloween March, Fall Festival and Christmas in Davidson! 

Town of Huntersville – Whether your tour group is full of shoppers or history buffs, Huntersville has something for everyone! Birkdale Village offers dozens of fashionable shops and tasty restaurants. For the little ones, Discovery Place Kids is a great place to get some energy out! Wrangle the whole family for a visit to Latta Place where you can immerse yourself in the area’s agricultural roots. 

Town of Pineville – Did you know that Pineville is home to the birthplace of James K. Polk? Visit the site to learn all about our country’s 11^th president. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, head to the Dive N for a menu full of classics or Margaux’s Wine, Pizza and Market for happy hour with a side of live music. 

Stay tuned – we’ll be sharing more of the sites our members suggested so you can set out on your own regional road trip through all nine counties!
