Hickory Factoid
A unique feature of local religion in Catawba County is the prominence of camp meetings. Affiliated with the Methodist faith, these gatherings originated in the 19th century, when ministers were not as common as they are today. Folks chose a location to gather, worship, and socialize for a week or two in the summer, coming together to share their beliefs and community. Now, more than a hundred years later, camp meetings are still held each August, and anyone interested may attend. Permanent quarters have been built at many of the sites, which include Balls Creek, Motts Grove, and McKenzie's Grove Campgrounds.
