Things To Do

Hickory in Catawba County, NC, is the gateway into the Blue Ridge Mountains, conveniently located right off Interstate 40. It is 60 miles NW of Charlotte, and an hour east of Asheville, NC.
Hickory has a vibrant downtown with shops, restaurants and park areas. We hope you enjoy your visit to the area. If you have additional time outside of our planned activities on Friday and Saturday, we will have some brochures at the Catholic Conference Center to peruse, courtesy of Newton City Councilman, Jerry Hodge.
