This growing textile-manufacturing city in the Piedmont west of Charlotte is the seat of Gaston County. Be sure to visit the Schiele Museum of Natural History and Planetarium; along with displays of North American mammals, minerals, and marine life, you'll find nature trails leading to a Catawba Indian village and an 18th-century back country farm. The Gaston County Museum of Art and History in nearby Dallas includes exhibits of period furnishings and the workings of the early textile industry. Across the state border, you can visit Kings Mountain National Military Park in South Carolina, the site of a major battle between backwoodsmen and British forces in September of 1780.
