The Catawba Science Center opened in 1975, originally known as the Creative Museum for Youth. It was founded by the Service League of Hickory and housed in the historic John Cilley Victorian-era home in downtown Hickory. By 1986, the center had outgrown its space and moved to its current 35,000-square-foot location at the SALT Block, where it continues to serve the community today.
Brews & Mews Cat Cafe, located in downtown Lenoir, offers the ultimate cozy experience by combining coffee and cats, all for a good cause. With its inviting storefront and warm atmosphere, this cat café is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy a delightful drink while spending time with adoptable felines.
