Situated about twenty miles west of Charlotte, Gastonia is the largest city in Gaston County. If you are looking for an easily accessible day out for the whole family, you are invited to come and check out the attractions of Gastonia. If you visit on a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday you will find a bustling Farmer’s Market with special activities for children.
The Schiele Museum of Natural History is great for the whole family, while the Cavendish Brewing Company is a popular craft beer brewery. If you want to get outdoors and active, Rankin Lake Park offers boating, fishing, kayaking and paddle-boating, as well as an attractive paved walking trail.
