The town of Mooresville on Lake Norman is an eclectic mix of contrasting yet strangely complementary qualities. Aside from being known as Race City USA, Mooresville is also a community that has a rich history. Just ask your real estate agent; Mooresville, you’ll find out, is quite well-known for its historic sites and buildings.
Founded in 1868 by John Franklin Moore (from whom the town gets its name), the town started out as a depot of the Atlantic, Tennessee and Ohio Railroad. The railroad and the cotton industry jump-started Mooresville’s growth and not long after that the town became known as one of the region’s main textile centers. Today, the past is still alive in Mooresville – all you have to do is head downtown where you can marvel at how folks here have successfully preserved the 19th century brick buildings.
Enjoying Mooresville
It’s easy to enjoy yourself in Mooresville. Even simply walking down Main and Broad Street is an experience to be savored since the century-old buildings and antique lampposts give the whole downtown district a quaint, charming atmosphere.
There are so many things to see and do in Mooresville that you’ll never be bored. If you’re a fan of speedy gas guzzlers, you can pay a visit to Gasoline Alley Collectables and the N.C. Auto Racing Hall of Fame; but if you’d rather do the guzzling yourself, then stop by the Carolina Beer and Beverage Company to get a free taste at the tasting room. Shopaholics will probably prefer going to one of the town’s many retail centers, while those interested in art can drop by the Depot Visual Center and Cotton Ketchie’s Landmark Galleries.
Of course, let’s not forget the other thing that keeps people coming back to Mooresville and that’s its great outdoors. Golf, fish, hunt or sail away into the sunset – you can do all this and more in Mooresville.
