Statesville has several parks. Our downtown is quaint with a variety of shopping opportunities. Churches run the gamut—Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Episcopal, Presbyterian, Jewish and others. We have museums, Theater! Statesville, Community Choir and Band, Artist Guild with quarterly shows and great restaurants. There is the Rotary Farmers Market that is open from May to October. And within a 20-30 minute drive, the Yadkin Valley Wine Region.
The pictures below show downtown Statesville on Good Friday morning.
Statesville also has good schools. Mitchell Community College is located at the end of Broad Street in downtown. They offer many 2 year degrees and continuing education courses. There is also a satellite location for Gardner Webb University.
Statesville is an historic town, too. Started in 1789, Remember Tom Dooley of “hang down your head, Tom Dooley”? Well, old Tom was hung up on Depot Hill. There is a great private museum where a local historian as collected Statesville memorabilia for years. We are very fortunate that he shares it with Statesville.
Hope you enjoyed our little trip to Statesville. Next week we will discuss taxes and just how much it costs to live in this house
