The
Mountain Gateway
Museum & Heritage Center offers visitors an opportunity to learn about North Carolina’s mountain
region. Exhibits, programs, and living history demonstrations depict area
history from the earliest original inhabitants through the settlement period and
into the twentieth century. The museum site includes a picnic area,
amphitheater, two pioneer-era log cabins and the museum itself, all located on
the banks of historic Mill Creek, a Catawba River tributary.
