Westport is an unincorporated community in Lincoln County, North Carolina. The community's location on the west side of Lake Norman leads to its name. The area has an eclectic mix of historical sites, outdoor attractions, and Southern charm.
The Mundy House was built in 1850 as a one-room log house with a stone chimney and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1975. The house doubles as a museum and has some amazing events. The Battle of Ramsour's Mill Living History Weekend commemorates the June 20, 1780, battle between Whigs and Tories. The weekend includes wreath-laying, keynote speakers, hearth cooking demonstrations, reenactments, weapons demonstrations, tours, and period crafts. Other events at the Mundy House include a car show, lectures, and the annual Veterans' Recognition Day Dinner.
