Christmas Town USA
The Schiele Museum
Explore the many exciting
attractions in Gaston County!
One of our premier attractions is Daniel Stowe
Botanical Garden, covering 110 acres of spectacular
plants, flowers, and more. Second on our list is
Crowder’s Mountain State Park, the highest point in
Gaston County, offering spectacular views from sheer
vertical cliffs which drop 150 feet. Next is The Schiele
Museum of Natural History, a noteworthy science
museum and planetarium that features both
permanent and touring exhibits. Make sure you take
time to see Christmas Town USA in McAdenville. Every
December, hundreds of thousands of twinkling lights
turn this small mill town into a spectacular holiday
display. A world-class recreation and training facility,
the U.S. National Whitewater Center, rounds out our
top five attractions. The Center is set among 400
acres of woodlands along the scenic Catawba River.
The multi-use facility has a climbing center,
mountain-biking trails and running trails.
