He only slipped-up on dates a few times. He was engaging and fun to listen too. This is fun for the whole family and the audience is taken into account so the stories are tapered to fit the youth of the audience. We were all older so, some of the scarier versions were revealed. FYI-make an evening out of it, several fun restaurants and taverns are right by the tracks where most of the stories take place.

It's still like going to a curated artisan show- everything is very professionally made, and there is a wide range of prices to make affordability not an issue. I've bought many wedding gifts here, as well as gifts for family and friends, not to mention myself. Bill and Holly have an ease about them. They are happy to let you browse but are there if you have questions or need help. They are in a great location and have a few parking places out front and there is public parking very close by. Go check out Stewart's Gallery- you will be glad that you did!

Roots go back to the 1700's when the Catawba Indians moved South when they realized it was too cold in the winter, hunting & fishing was a challenge and there was plenty of prime property in the warmer region near the river. They found the soil fertile, the river a great source for food. This tribe made strong alliances with early American settlers and were key in their support to Colonials in the Revolution versus Cornwallis. I had a great tour with Mrs Libby Chambers who told me of her relationship with Mrs Ann Close Springs. The last known person in the US who rode on the zeppelin, Hindenburg. This is where you want to take your out of town, friends and family when they come visit. So many great photos of early Fort Mill and the buildings and business on Main Street. It's free! They simply ask for donations. Parking will be a challenge at prime time. You'll find the best option behind the Clebourne office building.

What an awesome gem located just outside of Rock Hill, South Carolina. As a history freak I love…read moreto visit historical sites, museum, and cultural experiences. The Carolinas are full of history, so the choices are endless. When I found out that the Catawba Indian Reservation and Cultural Center was so close and included a museum and trails I was intrigued. We piled in the car and made the 30-minute journey from Charlotte. It was a twisty and turning drive, but we made it without any challenges. However, my phone lost signal before making it, so this is one of the few times I wish I had printed a map. It was tough getting in and even more challenging getting out. The Museum and Cultural Center are nice. They have several artifacts and reproductions on display. You get a basic understanding of the tribe just by mozying through. They don't have a brochure so you only get the basics. I wish there was someone on hand to explain more since I had lots of questions, but the only staff member was manning the gift shop. The gift shop was packed full of items from a variety of native American cultures. Lots of great items to peruse. They have books and jewelry and other items for visitors of all ages. The real treat here is the trails. They criss-cross the reservation and include informational displays, plaques telling the story of the tribe, their culture, the land, and their beliefs. It was a fun trek and there was a lot to see along the way. I also learned about the Yehasuri. They are mischievous spirits who live in the trees. They play pranks on kids and animals and kill adults with darts. You don't die immediately, but within 24-hours. I wrote this review as soon as I left just in case something happens to me. I want the Yelp world to know it was the Yehasuri who did it.

They had brown signs clearly leading us along. There were definitely many turns but worth it. Enter into the visitor center and there is a museum and gift shop. Very interesting learning about the culture. We asked about their trails and were cheerfully told where to start. ...in the rear of the center. The trails are beautiful and extremely peaceful. This would be a great place to pray or even meditate. The trail takes you to the Catawba River and circles back on a gravel road. One could always doubleback on the trail but we felt adventurous. There are also signs along the way sharing about the mischief of the Yeshsuri and even a log cabin. One thing I would love to see is the employees engage with visitors about the rich history here. Don't forget to sign the guest book.

Here's a shorter version... cute photo opps, but do NOT waste your money on their birthday packages. It's average at best, contrary to one of the owners being an "event planner".

On my latest visit, I made my way to the James K. Polk State Historic Site. The site on which it is believed that President Polk was born. There is a museum inside and recreations of period cabins outside. Also a garden and interpretive signs telling a bit about the plants that can be seen around the museum grounds. This is a free site for the most part though you can opt for a guided tour that takes you into the buildings if you are so inclined. I was there late in the day and not long before closing so the tour was no longer being offered. It was still cool to walk around and see the grounds. History doesn't quite come alive here but it becomes more tangible.

It was my 1st time and I thought it was endearing. The rocking chairs give it a country vibe. They really capitalized on the space to allow different opportunities.
