For a glimpse into life in Conover, North Carolina, in the 1800s, pay a visit to the Bolick Historic District. The district consists of 10 structures, including the Jerome Bolick & Sons Company buggy works and other buildings built by the Bolick Family. Here you can find examples of Bungalow, Colonial Revival, and American Craftsman architecture. In 1990 the district was added to the National Register of Historic Places.
If there is one thing residents here love, it's their parks. The city has one greenway and nine neighborhood parks. Tripadvisor ranks a day at Riverbend Park as the #1 thing to do in Conover. The park is a hiker's dream, with almost 20 miles of trails. Choose a path and come across two very distinct habitats. One is preserved grasslands, and the other is densely wooded forests. There is also access to the Catawba River and a ¾ acre pond. See if you can catch local favorites like catfish, bass, or yellow perch.
Instead of chasing fish, you can chase a little white ball on one of 2 (or both) championship golf courses at the Rock Barn Country Club and Spa. You had better bring your A-game because the Robert Trent Jones course has been named one of the "Toughest Public and Semi-Private Golf Courses" for over 15 years. The course was also ranked as the 26th best course in North Carolina by the North Carolina Golf Panel. The course had been home to the Greater Hickory Kia Classic of the PGA Champions Tour. There are also many events scheduled here throughout the year.
Take home a bit of history at Ageless Treasures Antique Center. There are over 20,000 square feet of collectibles here, including old & vintage lamps, antique & costume jewelry, shabby chic and antique furniture, clocks, glassware, and more. If you'd rather sell than buy, the center is continually looking for new vendors to add to the eclectic selection.
You can find a day of fun and sweets at Udderly Delicious Homemade Ice Cream. The company's mission is to "Make The Best Homemade Ice Cream," which is accomplished using the best ingredients. Using time-tested techniques, they still hand-pour each batch. Try one of the specialty sundaes like the Hot Moon Pie, Hawaiian Paradise, and Apple Caramel Delight. If you are a snow cone aficionado, you may be here for a while. There are over 50 flavors to choose from. Some amazing choices include Jamaican Me Crazy, Weekend At The Beach, and Frog In A Blender. If you have a celebration coming up, take home one of their custom cakes.
